New Born Pup
Hi,
So right now I have one Guinea pig (Apple) I’m not going to go into to much detail, but his friend passed away, and we couldn’t find a trusted home for him. He’s been very happy though, a few days after his friends death he didn’t climb up on the side of his cage looking for food, but after a few days he started to recover.
He’s very happy now, he runs around, we’ve moved him to an area where there’s constant people and he’s been popcorning, so he is happy. But, he hasn’t made a sound, other then the occasional teeth chatter, Apple doesn’t wheek or squeak, or any of that. When he wants food, he climbs up as high as he can, putting his paws up on the cage.
His friend was really loud, we always knew his friend made more noise, but until after his passing we didn’t realize Apple made no noise at all.
Is this okay? Is there something wrong with apple? We got a vet check up a week after his friend passed, and the vet said he was healthy. So, is it possible his vocal cords are damaged? Or maybe he just doesn’t feel like making sound. Anyway, if anyone knows what’s going on, or has an idea that would be great.
