Question stroking piggies backwards???!!!

If you stroke a guinea pig backwards (the opposite way the fur is going) it makes that low purring noise , does this mean it dosen't like it ?

Yes, that means they most definitely don't like it.

How'd you know that they seem content?

One of my pigs used to be like that. But now he seemed used to it. He won't purr anymore when I do that.

Yes, I'm sure. I'm as sure as I can be without being a guinea pig. I'm as sure as I can be by having managed and cared for hundreds of guinea pigs. They don't like it.
