When I hold my guinea pig on my lap in her cuddle cup she lays down and kicks her leg out all comfy and then starts to grind her teeth very quietly. I know she is not chattering at me angrily because she does that when I am trying to pick her up from her cage. So I am familiar to that sound.
Her quiet grinding of the teeth reminds me of when I had birds and they would grind their beaks when they were content and falling asleep. Is this the same sort of thing with cavies? Does this mean contentment?
