Well done for rescuing the poor guy. Ok, check out this link http://www.mgpr.org/MGPR/Guinea%20Pig%20Sounds.htm It may help you since its got other sounds as well.

first of all, i think its great you decided to rescue a pigger, check out piglets link its great... Also I suggest you keep looking around and posting on this forum, its awesome and you could learn alot

If you're petting rather hard that may be why. If it was neglected, you should get it checked out by a vet if you haven't already--it may be mites or a side effect of malnutrition. Good luck!

good points, i never thought of that before mn, but it makes sense

Its really cool. My Scruffy does the lonely sound but he cant be with any boys though. He only likes to be with Muffy his sister. None of them are fixed at all and they all are seperated.

ohh that is so cute same with my bozo he doesent have any freinds because he is a boy he is a poor loner guinea pig

I don't get it, it doesn't matter thats he's a boy. Get him a friend! Boars live together happily, its just a myth that they don't get along

how sure are you i remember my guinea pig did not get along with any other boys they fought a bloady battle serouly he has a hole in his ear when anthor guinea pig bit him

Yes, but did you quarantine for 2-3 weeks or did you just put them together? Introductions are crucial

Louis · #11 11-20-04, 04:10 pm

ok what happened is bozo is my first guinea pig then my brother(snowy) got one everything was fine until my sister(no-name) got one snowy decided he dident like bozo(mine) at became freinds with no name and after that happened they started fighting and how would quarantine help?

**mncavylover** · #12 11-20-04, 06:15 pm

You need to introduce slowly, and not all boars will get along all the time. It may just be a clash of personality. Read www.cavyspirit.com/sociallife.htm for more info.

See, your pig DID get along with another pig, your brothers.

Louis · #14 11-21-04, 05:29 pm

Yeah, but that was when they where young,what about gettting a rabit? not to live together just for floor time.

**Piglet** · #15 11-22-04, 11:48 am

Well, no. Thats not the same thing is it and unless there was very close supervision a rabbit-pig combo is not safe. How old is your guinea pig. An old boar and a young boar usually make a good pair. If you get the ages and quarintine right, then I dought there will be much fighting

**mncavylover** · #16 11-22-04, 09:06 pm

See both www.cavyspirit.com/sociallife.htm and http://www.cavycages.com/rabbits.htm.
Thanks!

Hmm old and new hey, well bozo is about 2 years old so maybe that would work but who knows hey

Ok, hope you decide to try it out!
