Angharad

Hello to everyone
My name is Angharad, I have three children ages 8...7...and 2 we bought Rocky as a gift for our son for his birthday.
He is so very cute but still very very shy. I have not noticed him making any noises when handling him although he has started trying to nibble our fingers is this normal?
I have never had a Guinea pig before so I'm not sure if young Rocky is happy. He is handled twice a day but seems to enjoy going back into his cage could someone please help as I I'm not sure I'm making him happy :-\
 
has rocky got a friend? Piggies like to have piggy friends. Wecome to the forum.
 
Hey welcome to the forum! Yes biting is normal, also them making noises is normal too :) I have had my new pig for almost 9 weeks and she loves going back to her cage... I'm sure he is happy :) good luck!

Pictures please? :)
 
Yes well its not so much as a bite, more of a nibble, and usually because they can smell food on your fingers! They can sometimes also nibble and be restless when they need to go back for a wee, and the noises are just happy chirrupy noises :)

Welcome to the forum :)

hello and welcome to the forum hope you make lots of new friends on here, Rocky would benefit from a friend, guinea pigs certainly like thier own kind for company either a younger male or a female but he would need to be snipped :o,
 
Hi and welcome, it's nice to see you are concerned for rocky's happiness :) He would most probably talk/makes noises if he got a friend... you could hear them chat to each other! Piggies are very sociable :) I get nibbled too, sometimes you can tell they are 'grooming' you, and if it starts to get a bit harder (but not really hurt), they probably want to be put back (after my girl has had her medicine, and we're getting near the cage again, she teeths me pretty hard! i think i know what she thinks of her medicine :D)

Look forward to seeing pictures =)
 
A big friendly welcome to:

You and Rocky

in the forum, why not get Rocky a friend? Piggys are very social, and a much happier with company. Epsically if they are just introduced into new surroundings. It cant be nice entering a new way of life with strange tall creatures all on your own, ::) I hope you find the forum useful and make louds of new friends. There are really nice memebers on here, that you will get to know very well, some more than others lol ;D
