My guinea pig is normally on the quiet side, but lately he talks to himself a lot. He makes little squeaking and grunting noises sometimes while he's walking around his cage. He also does it during lap time when I try to pet him. Is this something normal or should I be worried that something is bothering him? He also squeaks and acts bothered when I try to touch his tummy, but he's never really liked his tummy touched, he's just never squeaked when I touched it in the past. Everything else seems normal. He's eating and drinking normally and going to the bathroom normally. He does have sludgy pee, but it's not gritty at all. I'm just worried because his friend used to do the same thing before he passed away from what I think were bladder stones. I'm pretty new to guinea pigs and I only had his friend for three weeks before he passed away so I thought it was normal behavior for some pigs to run around talking to themselves. Any advice or am I just being an overprotective pet parent?
