Hi,

I'm new to having guinea pigs, got my first pair last week ( both girls ) . Everything is fine with them and they're happy little things jumping around the cage, however I've noticed that only one of them makes noises. One is completely silent and has squeaked probably once or twice if that, the other one is constantly making an array of noises especially if there's food about.

Is it normal to have one that very rarely makes noise or is it something to be worried about? any help would be appreciated :{
 
hi there
mine are the same,
susie squeaks like a nutter when the fridge is opened & ginger does nothing ?/
she does do tiny little chirps when she's out in the run but thats about it
I'm guessing susie does all the talking for her !
it is probably normal
 
Some guinea pigs are very quiet! My boy, Freddie, never used to squeak until very recently - I was more concerned that he'd suddenly become so vocal! :))

Some pigs are very noisey, some are very quiet, and some are inbetween. So long as they appear healthy in themselves, I wouldn't worry.
 
Thanks very much :) . They both seem happy enough and are getting on well so guess that's the main thing. I'm sure she'll make herself known to me when she wants to. Thanks again
 
We had a piggie 'Putt' who never wheeked in fact I think I only heard her do it once or twice in the 5 years we had her. Her sister was very vocal and did a lot of talking for her :))

Congratulations on getting your girls
 
My girl Freya is very quiet, her sister is quite quiet too actually, although it could just be they are drowned out by Archie's deafening wheeks :))
 
I've been told that in the two months Oscar was in foster home he didn't squeak once. He is still yet to squeak.

I just think like us, there are the quiet ones and the loud ones.

Caramac is my loudest but she's the biggest chicken ever so I think its all about the personality of the pig.

Our pigs look alike, they even act alike! I was just searching on the forum for this subject as I was a bit concerned that in the 8 months Ive had the boys, Jamie has never wheeked....Gino wheeks his danglies off but Jamie is so quiet. Hes my ginger piggie
 
When my Terfel met his wives to be at the rescue that was the first time he could be heard in several months. He is still a quiet piggy, although he loves his rumbles!
