Question
What noise does a Guinea Pig make hen he is happy,sad,frightened,and lonely.


Answer
Hello,
Guineas make alot of noise, your guinea would sound hurt or very unhappy is he emit a high loud shriek on a falling note which would indicate your guinea is hurt. Guineas make lots of different sounds such as...
1. A low bubbly murmuring when there are chomping through goodies
2. A 'wheeping' sound, they keep this up until they have got what they want. It is usually a demanding sound
3. A lower 'wheeping' is made by cavies greeting eachother
4. And and even lower 'wheeping' is made when you attempt to touch a guinea who doesn't want to be picked up or touched.
I hope this helps
