What is my piggy saying?

Post by sdf76 »

I love this explanation of piggy talk by Alice of Windwhistle Warren.

b]Wheeks And Squeaks - What Is My Piggy Saying:[/b]

Garrulous little beings, one of the most enjoyable things about piggies is that they talk!
Piggy listeners will soon pick up different noises and learn to identify their meanings.

Contented clucking means just that. They squeak away quite happily to each other. A mother clucks away to her babies almost as reassurance.

Teeth chattering - anger.

‘Brrrr’ - nervousness.

Long high pitched squeal - fear or pain.

A crescendo of high squeaks from them all together
means they have heard you coming and want FOOD NOW!!!!

A deeper throated brrr along with an Indian dance around the other piggy is dominance. This is more usually associated with neutered boars to his sow, or perhaps between two boars.

They soon learn to recognise the noise of you opening the fridge door and rustling bags :)

I've never had a pet guinea pig. But I think their little faces look cute. :)

As there has been a large guinea pig rescue on here recently, I've revived this thread as it may be of interest to any members are considering taking guinea pigs as pets. :)
