Another Guinea pig behavior q..

[endzie]

What does it mean when they chatter their teeth? I think he is happy because I sometimes hear him squeek but I was just curious..

 

[dagwellismypigy]

chattering isnt agood thing they are usually scared or mad if there is another guinea pig it is a sign a fight may begin

 

[Himino]

not always true dagwell, it could also just be them filing down there teeth.

 

[dagwellismypigy]

if its loud its bad

 

[RubyPiggie2]

Yes, chattering loudly means they are annoyed.

 

[endzie]

hmm.. well its not too loud. and he does it when i have him on my lap, but then he follows it with a couple of squeeks.. so its kind of weird it doesnt seem like he's scared or mad.. but i dont know how to take it?

 

[Himino]

I wouldn't worry. My gp Jasper does it all the time

 

[mncavylover]

Pig begs like that all the time--not a loud chatter, just a soft, give me attention sort of chatter.

My pigs makes a grinding noise when he's wearing his teeth down. However, last time he chattered at me I got bit. I would be careful about which is which.

If it is followed with the piggy going potty soon then it may be his way of telling you he had to go.
