A regular size, firm and moist ❤ Good stuff!
I'm glad she's eating, drinking, and playing! The poops look good to me. They're pretty wet which means she's getting enough water, and that's pretty much how my 14 week guinea pig's poops looked! They look good in size too!hi last night she was very loud, i could hear her munching on her pellets, hay , and drinking jew water (it was very loud), i also saw her running round the cage, and sitting in various places in the cage, which is great because i think she’s getting more confident.
in another corner of the cage i found lots of poops, they all vary in colour and i took a photo with the flash on —-> does it look normal? she’s 13 weeks btw

i got the noise on video but i dont know how to post itmy guinea pig is making these weird noises, it’s not a squeak but it’s like a rumbling noise... i’m not near the cage, she’s munching on some hay in her hide house, is there anyone who might know what the noise means? is it a happy or scared one...?

nevermind, i dont know how to do thatyou need to upload to a third party site such as youtube and then post it here
I think it's a pretty happy one! Does it sound almost like a purr? Cocoa purrs all the time!my guinea pig is making these weird noises, it’s not a squeak but it’s like a rumbling noise... i’m not near the cage, she’s munching on some hay in her hide house, is there anyone who might know what the noise means? is it a happy or scared one...?
yes i’m guessing it probably was a rumble, i’ve watched a few video “about guinea pig sounds” i can’t seem to find the noise...If it's like a little rumbling noise it might be that something has disturbed her and she is brave enough to mention it! Perhaps a sudden noise like a cough or sneeze, even in the other room. My boy rumbles when I get pans out to cook because his ears are sensitive - the others don't seem to care.
thanks for your help!hi! this is great! my piggies do the same thing! they'll often do that when they feel more safe & when people are still and not getting up and walking around etc., so they'll often do it at night! this means that she's starting to settle in & feel more comfortable. it's even better that she's squeaking! usually, when cavies squeak consistently and there doesn't seem to be any apparent reason, that probably means that they're pretty content/happy! they just do it as a little background noise when they're eating and playing. however, it can be a little bit annoying aha. unfortunately, there's not anything you can do about it. i'm sorry you may not be sleeping great my piggy used to wake me up when drinking water because it was so loud lol. i'm sorry i couldn't be of more help though ( i hope your sleep gets better!
np!thanks for your help!
Hi!good morning everyone. She has been coming out of her cage every night , not in the day , but in the night she’s eating her pellets, drinking, and eating veggies! i’ve noticed that she only ever eats the cucumber and not any romaine lettuce, or anything else in the bowl... when she sees me refilling the bowl with fresh veggies in the day and sees me put the cucumber in she goes crazy and happy, she leaves the cage to walk over to the bowl, eats the cucumber, and walk back to her hide house... is there any reason why she’s only eating cucumber from the variety of other veggies she’s getting?

ok i’ll definitely purchase those and try them out! thank you for your helphi!
my piggies mostly come out in the night as well. they do that when they're still getting used to you and your surroundings, so don't worry about that. she'll eventually settle in more and come out during the day! piggies are often very picky. i got my piggies last saturday and they still aren't eating any veggies. that's normal, and it's actually good that she's eating some veggies! however, even if your guinea pig is eating a cup of cucumbers every day, she's only getting about 26% of her daily vitamin c. so until you can get your piggy to eat more veggies, i'd recommend feeding her vitamin c tablets! i recommend oxbow natural science vitamin c tabs. you should find them on amazon!
no problem!ok i’ll definitely purchase those and try them out! thank you for your help
