at this moment in time my piggie harper is on my lap, when i stroke her she makes this purring noise and her body shakes... i'm pressuming its like when you stroke a cat and they're happy they purr...

Am i correct in thinking she's happy when she does this?

Does any one elses piggies do the same thing?

Finally do all piggies do it? x
 
thanks will look it up, hard to explain on here regarding sounds, but as i stroke her normally she spreads out and half closes her eyes, when she's had enough she normally tries to jump off lol. time will tell lol xx

I just went on to that site,, wow its fab...

And she is purring :)) so pleased she's happy :)):))

Learnt something new tonight.... I didnt know piggies purred when they are happy lol x
 
it sounds like what is called 'rumbling' to me, which i read was a sign of...*cough cough* becoming abit amarous? haha! my piggys only ever do this when they're flirting, when i bought them there first cosy they tried to have their wicked way with it and rumbled beforehand. so maybe your piggy has taken more of a liking to you than is usual ;) x
 
My guinea pig does that when I'm lightly stroking him after a bath. I always thought it was fear but I was told the shaking and rumbling noise meant he was enjoying it.

He always seemed fond of baths so I guess he does enjoy being pampered.

my piggys are always suicidal after their bath! haha! you're lucky to have a water loving piggy x
 
Sounds like you've got a very happy little piggie there :D.
 
There are 3 different kind of purrs -

The purr of contentment when being groomed or petted by you or another piggie.

An amorous purr is more vibrant and along with it is the hip swaying

and a purr of aggression which sounds more like a loud growling purr and is much louder than the other two. Along with that is normally pacing on the spot with their back feet.

I used to get lots of purrs from Rodney, mainly the contentment one its such a lovely sound to hear. :)
