Hi everyone, I’m new here, and new to owning guinea pigs. I’ll skip over everything that led to me getting him (I’ll post about that in the introduction forums) and just say that a week ago, I got an unaltered male guinea pig, no idea on his age. He’s adapted quite well, seems very calm (unless his flight instinct kicks in). Extremely sweet and gentle and affectionate, has absolutely zero problem with being handled. I do have a question, though.
As I’ve been getting to know him, I’ve been looking up all the sounds he makes to see what they mean; however, there is one sound he’s started making that I can’t seem to find an explanation of. It started a few days ago. Every time I put him back in his cage after we have cuddle time (several times a day, usually), he makes this cooing sound, like a dove. Sometimes just once, but he usually makes it three or four times before settling down. He has also made the sound a few times while being petted, but it’s mostly when I end our interaction and put him back. Does anyone know what this means? Thanks for your help.
