Where to get a clicker for guinea pigs?

[FiaFlora]

I’m interested in clicker training my guinea pigs to teach them tricks. The problem is I don’t want a clicker that is too loud that it will scare them. Do you guys have any suggestions for clickers that I could buy online for them?

I’ve never heard of anyone using a clicker. It is possible to train using a specific sound your self.

Neither have I @Mother Hubbard I've never heard of clicker training a guinea pig. Mine respond to a crisp packet opening thinking it's their treat bag! I suppose you could call that" training a guinea pig to the sound of food!"

I use a cat/dog clicker. There are even soft clickers available, their sound should be less loud. But a normal clicker is fine as well.

I suggest to first just click several times without reason until they ignore it and then click and give food. When the connect the clicker with the food you can start teaching them tricks.

I wouldn't advise using a clicker.
I wouldn't advise trying to train a Guinea Pig full stop.

We make certain noises, clicking our tongue is food time etc. Works fairly well.

I do that but I don't class it as training, they just start wheeking and running around if we do it

There are plenty of people who train their guinea pigs. There isn’t anything wrong with it.

I’ve seen lots of people use clickers for guinea pigs.

How about a squeaky dog toy or no?
