Anyone with Guinea Pigs??????

Warren Scout
My sister has two guinea pigs. One of them has started making a starnge noise tonight...she describes it as a 'squark'...i havent herad the noise so cant say much more than that, sorry!

She hasnt heard him make it before and she is a little worried....any thoughts??
 
... how odd.

Does the exited whistling sound count as a 'squark'? Mine used to get ridiculously excited whenever they heard the fridge opened... they'd make all sorts of noises that could be a bit startling then. o_o;
 
mine occasionally retch while eating - that could be described as a 'squark!' kind of noise? I just say 'oh dear poor baby' and they are fine :D
 
Is it the infamous bird song that my piggies do? When the house is quiet, it sounds like a bird is in the piggie room and then I creep out there and there is a strange stillness and a piggie is chirping away and the others are staring transfixed.... it is quite strange too!:shock:

Ooh yes, I know the noise you mean - it does sound like a squark.
 
Piggies have a huge range of sounds they can make. It felt very odd with my first bun and he didn't make a sound!!
I can hear Leonard's babies now, they are gurgling, rumbling, wheeking, and probably squarking!! :lol:
 
Interested to read that so many people's guineas have made that bird song noise. Our Gidgit has done it several times but from what I read at the time it was supposed to be very rare?! x
