A few minutes ago as I was holding my little piggie... I heard him making a purring noise! Is he purring because he was happy? Was he even purring or making another noise that I thought was purring? Has this happened to anyone?
 
It means they are calm, happy, content.
 
It is good when they purr.
 
Purring, like a rumbling where their body vibrates is annoyance, or "Hey, that dosn't feel good! Stop!"

The good purring is just from the throat, the body does not vibrate, and it is hard to hear.
 
good :D Im glad he is happy! I just hope he dosent have a URI.... im dropping by petsmart tomorrow to buy him a few new things :D Does anyone know if it is okay to use harnesses on them?? I have never tried....
 
He wasnt vibrating... It was quite a faint sound so i think he was happy
 
I thought harnesses were a little cruel...
 
If you do go into PetsMart go see the Vets which are most of the time inside a Petsmart.
 
I know not to buy the cavy from petsmart... I got mine from a local rescue.... But is petsmarts products okay? like beds for guinea pigs and other things?
 
I don't think so. Go to (broken link removed) .
 
Okay, thank you :D
 
Do you know if there are any local ferretstores located in Madison? Thats were I usually go to find my stuff for my Guinea pig
 
(broken link removed) is better, it is cheaper. However the Ferret Store has free shipping on orders over $35, but is MUCH more expensive.
 
I think either one is good.

Try feed stores, and stores that don't sell animals.

By buying Petsmart products, you support them selling the animals.
 
good! I did think the ferretstore was a little pricey :D Im a bargain shopper hehehe..
 
That makes sense that you are supporting them selling the animals... I just feel so bad for the ones that they keep crammed in their friggin 10 gallon cages...
 
Yes, If you buy them they will just replace them with more. When you buy one pig two pigs replace it.
 
I am also a bargain shopper, but free shipping always catches my attention.
