New Owner with Question About Sqeaks

[casey_14]

I am a new owner. When I hold Matthew (my new piggie) he sometimes starts to make a faint squeaking kind of sound. It doesn't sound like he's hurt or alarmed, but everything I've read online says that sqeaking is bad, so I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. When he does this he's usually just chilling, looking relaxed, on my chest. Any advice? Thank you!

Hello, Casey. Welcome to the forum!

Piggies come with many different sounds, and some of them vary according to the context. It's possible that you're touching a sensitive area. This picture is a good guide:



When I'm holding my boys, even if I'm not petting them, they are pretty loud about not enjoying being touched on their behinds.
