Hey guys so as some of you may know I just recently adopted a pair of female guinea pigs. Well one of my girls Roxy shes an Abyssinian has been making a weird kind of "cry" noise since yesterday.
It was sometime in the afternoon and I heard a faint cry so I looked over at the girls cage and saw Blossom (bonded female) sitting next to Roxy so I walked over to see what was going on and I noticed it was Roxy making the crying noise and this is VERY weird for her as she is not very vocal at all so I figured that maybe Blossom was just bothering her and sat there for a bit to see if she would stop. After about 30 seconds to a minute she was still going and by that time Blossom had gone to eat some hay so I automatically assumed something must be wrong with Roxy. Being an abby she is not fond of being touched anywhere besides her head and much less her mid back area so I started petting her to see if she would react but she did not at all. I started talking to her and petting her head and after about a minute or less she stopped crying. & just snapped back to normal... She's been eating, drinking, acting normal.
Also she has been peeing without any pain as far as I can see because she always uses her pigloo and it's always filled with poop and pee when I spot clean in the mornings.
It's just very strange behavior so of course I have been watching her since and this morning she did it again but this time as soon as she starting crying I ran up to the cage and scooped her out and held her in lap with a towel around her and as soon as I scooped her up she just completely stopped crying. I let her free roam a bit to see if she did it again or if she would be acting strange but nope she was completely back to normal as if nothing had happend and was even happily popcorning around... This time the "crying" only lasted about maybe 5-10 seconds?
What could this possibly be? I have been looking on youtube to see if I find any videos that might have somewhat of a similar cry as to hers but have not found any. It is a very weak kind of whimper/cry, if she does it again I will record her and post it on here but from what I have explained what do you guys think? She has been fine and only just yesterday started this behavior.
