Ticklish Guinea Pig?

[funkadelicfred]

If I ever pet my guinea pig the wrong way(like from butt to head) and wriggle my fingers like I'm tickling him he starts squeaking a lot and kicking and generally going nuts. Is that his reaction to being tickled, like a human? He doesn't seem to mind, he doesn't bite or try to run away he just kicks his back legs and makes a lot of noise.

Our Mr. You has moments like that if we touch his butt at cetrtain times. I think it irritates him and we will stop it then.

He he. My Angus is tickly on his tummy. If you fozz his belly fur he kicks and jumps and squeaks. If her really doesn't want you to do it he lets us know.

For most pigs brushing their hair against the grain is actually pretty uncomfortable so it's best to avoid it really.
