Hi there. I recently lost one of my guinea pigs about 2 months ago (from a tumor), and my sweet Olivia has been on her own ever since. She is about 4 years old, and as I don’t intend to keep anymore guinea pigs after her, I wasn’t planning to adopt another. However, I’m worried about her behavior recently. She’s been eating and drinking just fine, so nothing seems wrong there. She has just been making a very loud “complaining” sound (according to YouTube) lately, and will go on for quite a while. (It kind of sounds like she’s chatting but it’s a little more high pitched and constant of a sound.) It happens throughout the day but also especially at night. Her cage has just been cleaned and she has more space now since she is on her own, so I don’t think it’s anything to do with that. Could it be an attention seeking behavior from loneliness? Or do you think I should be concerned that she might be in pain and should take her to the vet? I’m going to look into seeing if my local rescue might be able to let me foster another piggy for her, but I did just want to see if anyone had more experience and knowledge in case she’s trying to tell me she’s in pain.
