So Finally we adopted a pair of female guinea pigs, apparently they are sisters(not from same mother but from same family) and are together since birth.lol
One is Cute American(Bubbles) and other one is stunning silkie(Cuddles)!
I have 3 questions to ask(of many more)
1.When we pick Cuddles, she is very skittish but as soon as she is with me or my wife she is content and sits quietly staring at us or relaxing or sometimes even napping.
But Bubbles, when picked up, immediately starts making this weird noise till the time we put her back to her cage.

I am not sure what this means some people say its content and enjoying and some say the opposite.
2. Another thing I noticed is when we pick up Cuddles, Bubbles(again) starts making this shrieking noise.
We give both of them equal treats, time and love.
3. Even though they have a lot of things in their cage including hay and chew able toys, paper toys, etc they still like to eat/chew on cardboard/plastic from hideys/tunnels. How do I stop this? or further more, Do I need to stop this?
I really don't want to misunderstand them and hence I am asking this to the best possible forum.
They are about 41/2 - 5 months old.
We have them for a month now.
