hi agen, this is my guinea pigs' 3rd day in their new home and the smaller 1 (bee) seems 2 make a quiet squeeking noise 2 herself all of the time which gets faster and louder if bumble or someone outside of the cage make sudden movements, does any1 have any idea why she makes this noise? they often 'coo' 2 eachother but this noise is different and i was just worried incase she is distressed. Also, does any1 have any tips on how 2 get them used 2 being handled because we tried it before and both (especially bumble, the larger 1) seemed terrified, i heard that you're suposed 2 handle them as much as possible 2 get them used 2 it but i feel really mean as i have 2 chase both around 2 get hold of them and then they either freeze or try 2 hide behind me or in my hair! is there another way 2 get them used 2 being handled without chasing them? ?any help is appreciated iv never had guinea pigs before so i've no idea what's normal and what's not?! thanks in advance xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
my boys are 8 months old and i still have to chase them around, they are held daily since my sow gave birth..just takes time.

the noise happens weith mine when they are mad, my boys do it to each other when one is sniffing or coming too near the water bottle when one is on stuff like that, quite petty..the cooing is a good noise :)
