one of my little girls when i was feeding them today starting making what i can only describe as a brrrrr noise what does this mean?

also whe i first had them and i was holding one she started vibrating why was this?

I'm sorry to ask so many questions but i like to know all there is to know about them lol
 
wow thats really good news thank you, it certainly ties in with the fact that i was feeding her at the time :)
 
It could also be teeth chattering, my boys do that, and it generally means get lost or else! I can't tell the difference between purring and teeth chattering, but chattering is a sign of aggresive behaviour and purring is a sign of happiness or being comfortable..
 
Some female guinea pigs combine dominance rumbling with being in season. In that context they may try to mount their (female) companion.

If this happens about every two weeks or so - then it's the piggy version of having their period. The dominant one ususally has it stronger and can be pretty grumpy for a couple of days!
 
thank you for that having listened to them all she was definatly purring, have also seen them popcorning today too:)
