Sounds What is teeth-chattering? (A reference thread)

[TheGuineaPigGal]

A lot of my friends with pigs have had their guinea pigs teeth-chatter, and they do not know what it means, This behavior that is displayed in guinea pigs, contrary to popular belief, does NOT mean they are cold. The real meaning of teeth chattering is usually when a piggy is unhappy, or angry. It is common for teeth chattering to take place in introductions, especially if you do it in a cage. They are simply warning each other not to interfere with each other's territory or personal space. They may also teeth chatter at you if they do not want to be picked up, or do not like what you are doing.


Piggy Translation: ¨Stay away from my food, or bad things will happen¨ OR

¨PUT ME DOWN RIGHT NOW!!!!¨
