Weird chirping noises

[devyncollins]

I’ve had my guinea pig, Martin, for about 2 years now and he just started making these weird chirping noises almost like a bird. I took a video and it will be below. Please help. He’s never made these noises before. He’s just chilling in the corner of his cage and I’m worried. I googled it and it said it could mean many things like he’s happy singing, worried, hungry, or it’s a warning signal for other pigs. He’s the only guinea pig I have. Please help!

Lucky you having a chirping piggy! It's very rare. I'd love to have a piggy that chirps! Nobody really knows what it means.

To upload a video you have to put it on another media first like YouTube or Facebook the link it in using the chain icon.

Hi! We don't have a video uploading facility on our forum, which is run by voluntary member donations. You have to upload elsewhere on a public setting and then link it in.

Here is our information on chirping (including a video): Chirping

Pigs will sometimes chirp for no readily apparently reason. No one really knows what it means or what it's for. I've had many pigs chirp once or twice, no apparent reason, and then never knew it again. Other pigs listen to it, so it apparently means something to them, but they aren't telling the humans about it!
