Junior Guinea Pig
I bought my two female guinea pigs from a pet store on 23rd June this year. I was told they had been born at around the start of May so that makes them about nearly 3 months old. I have them in a large cage indoors and they seem to have settled in quite well. They do run and hide when they are startled but Maisie has started to come to sniff my hand if I put it in the cage. I hold them everyday and they have floor time in a run most days. However they rarely wheek or squeak. I had guinea pigs years ago and I remember them squeaking a lot. Why do you think Maisey and Daisy are so Quiet?
When I hold them and feed them treats they sometimes make a purr sound. Now I know that there are many different theories about this noise. Some people say it's made when the piggies are annoyed and some say it is when they are happy. I like to think mine are making it because I'm happy!
Ps I like this site but could not post a thread until I found the 'How to' section specifically to help newbies. Many thanks to the author ☺
