Sounds Noises???

[jessesarmywife]

I got 2 guninea pigs now and the only noise my bigger one will make is like a purring noise and the only one my white one will make is like a "WHEEK" noise. Why is this? i see them running around teh cage and "jumping" and i've had them together for going on 2 months now and they seem to really like each other =) but my big one that is just a couple months older seems to be dominant but they have never fought.

Purring and Wheeking are both happy noises, so no need to worry there. The jumping you are seeing is called "popcorning" and it is a sign of happiness as well.

Seems you have 2 very happy piggies. Personalities vary from one pig to the next and chances are one of yours is more dominant, but as long as there's no fighting or cornering, then you have nothing to worry about.
