I spend most of my time with them at night. When I get home from school I hang out with them for a while before working on my homework. Plus I work in my room where they live so they're exposed to me a lot. Do you have them up whilst you lay on your bed? or in a chair? The latter can get Stribe to nibble at me as well, since thats not a flat surface shes on at that point. So they aren't living with each other right now. Haven't introduced them since Tuxedo's been healing from his surgery hes p much fully recovered but just want to give him another day or so before I re-introduce them. I set up my bed early in the morning so that way Tuxedo can run around and have more space so he is there for the majority of the day. Brownie on the other hand resides in the playpen I set up in my room. The playpen can fit me laying down so Brownie usually will run around me and try to climb me, sometimes lay down on my stomach. When I lay on my bed when Tuxedo is around though he'll squeak at first but then calm down but not really interact with me. Except for nibbling my fingers which he does a lot now. Ahh well that i dont know if i can help with. But there are dedicated guinea pig sites that should. I have heard stories about some guinea pigs not liking human attention, but ive (thankfully as i need it) never encountered it myself Then again All 6 guinea pigs we have had (plus the 5 babies when my sister wanted one of hers to have babies) where from the same place. --- L.J.Gibbs: Rule 51: "Sometimes You're Wrong." <cite>SuperVegito2487 posted [p:918974918] in Guinea pig...

0AbsoluteZero0 03/14/19 11:55:17 PM #58:	SuperVegito2487 posted... Abiz_ posted... The purring noise they make when you pet them is my favorite animal noise. If its purring thats something i think is a bad sign (IE i dont like this), but there is a comfortable grunting noise Teddie makes, that could be confused for purring. And she only makes it when relaxed and petted. My guinea pigs also make a purring or chortle sound while Im petting them. Its similar to the sound they make when theyre startled or annoyed, but not quite the same, and I can also tell from their body language that theyre relaxed and happy. OffTempo posted... Surprised I was mentioned here sorry for posting late. But yeah guinea pigs are pretty cute and fun to hang around with. Both of mine are still getting used to me although I've made loads of good progress with them. I want to introduce them but still want to be as informed as possible before I do. Anyways here are my piggies! Very cute piggies, Im glad you posted. That stinks that Tuxedo has been skittish since the vet visit. Ive never had an issue like that so Im not sure what the best way to handle it is. Itll take some patience and gentle care to get Tuxedo comfortable again, but Im sure you can do it. --- -The Admirable <cite>0AbsoluteZero0 posted [p:918981345] in Guinea pig...

I dont know man, most of the pigs Ive had make that purring sound when theyre relaxed and being petted. Its very similar to noises they make when startled or annoyed, but it differs a bit in tone and length.

Ya, I have no clue how that plays out I wouldn't suggest leaving them alone, unless maybe if they grew up together. But as a Cat person, I know that some cats really are chill. But all cats and people get triggered, and if even for a second it would suck for the Guinea just because they can't fight back...if even just to chill things out. I know nothing about this, but that's what my instincts tell me. I have a lover not a fighter cat, so he'd probably okay...once he got over the WTF factor.

Ive read that you shouldnt house rabbits with guinea pigs because rabbits back legs are strong enough to easily hurt a guinea pig by mistake. Our first guinea pig was used to be housed with Rabbits.. Got her from a family that couldnt take care of her anymore i think it was (my mothers, brothers wifes cousin, i think). She was fine and healthy, had her for 3,5 years, and as she had had babies before, she musta hit an age of 5 or 6 easily. Only consequence of that, was that she did NOT like the new guinea pig we got... at all (Mulle didnt like Tulle) and therefore had to be kept in another cage, 2 cages right next to eachother. Aside from that Mulle, was a very relaxed and content piggy. So the time we had said Uncles family visiting with their dog, Mulle didnt care, drank a bit, looked up at the dog (whilst chewing her water), then drank some more. --- L.J.Gibbs: Rule 51: "Sometimes You're Wrong." <cite>SuperVegito2487 posted [p:919314486] in Guinea pig...

M-Watcher 03/21/19 9:30:19 PM #89:	I swear my guinea pig had some anti-social disorder or something. He never was very affectionate, though sometimes I think I wasn't a very good owner. Maybe it had something to do with the fact he had no fellow guinea pig to be with. I don't know. He was pretty funny besides the issues with affection, though. Loved basil, it was like candy to him and he would make enthusiastic noises whenever he smelled it. As you might've guessed from the past tense, he died pretty naturally ~7 years ago. He was 5 years old, got him because I wanted to have rodent pets and he was the first, and soon got dwarf hamsters not long after him. The year and a half with the hamsters and the five years with him was certainly an experience. I decided against getting rodents after that, for various reasons. Also had two cats and a dog at the same time. One cat didn't care, the other would watch the rodents but not really do much because she's a wimp and kept getting her paw bitten whenever she put it through the cage. We got the dog after the hamsters died, so she had plenty of time to get to know the guinea pig. My dog would never think of hurting him (or anyone else). Hilariously enough, when she was a puppy she managed to get herself into the guinea pig cage (I had the cage door open, but didn't think it was big enough for a puppy to fit through). She sat on the igloo looking pitiful because she didn't know how to squeeze out. Meanwhile, the poor guinea pig was confused, hiding in the igloo that was being sat on and kept on looking up. Stupidly enough, we didn't think to take a picture of that moment (we were kind of in a rush: worried about the dog getting bitten), and a week later she grew too big to fit herself into the cage again, hahaha. --- http://steamcommunity.com/id/MWatcher/wishlist <cite>M-Watcher posted [p:919318363] in Guinea pig...
