I was playing when my guinea pig. The neighbors were playing some loud music so I don't know if it had to do anything with out. So I was playing with her and she lied down, about to go to sleep. I then noticed that her stomach was thumping sort of. They were very quick movements. She grinded her teeth as well. She did this for about a minute and then went back to normal. Is this a bad thing I or was she just scared of the music?

Is it possible that your piggy is pregnant?

It could be that she was simply scared since guinea pigs are prey animals. A prey animals instinct is to hide if they feel like they are in danger.
