Hello guys,

I think i'm pretty good at understanding Peanuts squeeks and rumblings etc but recently he has been making a strange sound. Very hard to explain but here goes .....a cheek/tongue smaking, like when you call a horse, but high pitched. very short and maybe only 1 or 2 times over a couple of days. usually when his girlfriend sweety is out for her run and he is prowling the area lol. Any ideas??

He is eating fine, pooing and weeing fine and pop corning and chatting away so don't think it could illness, he did have a nueting op last tuesday which he has recovered from.

So he had the chop last week, and now he has a high pitched voice? Hhmmmm?
Sorry.
Everything else, as you say seems fine, so try not to worry. Hopefully someone will be along soon, who may have heard a similar sound. x
 
Maybe losing his manhood and its affected his voice:(|)
I really dont know if its anything to worry about,maybe you could record and post on here? getting to a piggy savvy vet would be good too xx
 
It could be clucking, What does that mean. i think it is something to do with the lady next door as it only happens when he gets out for his run which is next to her cage.
 
Is it like a chirping noise? A bit like a bird? My girls do that sometimes. Some people think it might be a warning, some think it's a happy song. I think my girls might have used it for both those reasons, once when they'd not long been here and I'd taken one out of the cage, which sounded like an alarmed noise and other times they haven't seemed unhappy it's sounded like singing.
 
It isn't the bird chirping sound it's more of a duck quack lol very strange! Very infrequent like i said maybe 1 time a day. Listened to those sound bites and def not any of them.
 
I'm very curious any chance you could record it on vid and post it on here?
 
well i will def try but it is so infrequent and random that i doubt i'll ever have the recorder ready. i will get prepared when i let him out tomorrow

Is it when you feed your guinea pig? Two of mine make what I call their "happy noise" when the food comes, always for fresh food + sometimes for dry food. It's not on any of the links I just checked out, but I'm not sure it's like a quack either, more of a guttural grunting! One also does it when given a freshly washed snuggly bed!
 
Not when i feed him, usually when he has been let out. He is very smelly at the moment too. Do you think that is because he is constantly strutting for sweety his neighbour? Had a total clean and disenfect of the whole room last night to get rid but it's def him who is the culprit. Wiped him with grooming wipes too. Bless him he is just a horny little thing even after the op!
 
Oh thanks Cosmo! I've been wondering what the strange noise my guineapig has been making was, but I've found out it's him being curious and that he's a happy guineapig not stressed like I thought he might be despite being on him own. That's such a relief. I'm trying to get him a partner and feared he was really lonely so thanks alot xx>>>
 
I think that is why he's smelly yes! I'll try to make a video of my GPs making the noise they make and post it, and we can see if it's the same! Or you could post a video of yours....
 
Could it be a cough? Still haven't managed to get it on video as it is so infrequent.
