It will be a gentle popiskivaniye, first silent and faltering. The more pleasure is derived by a guinea pig and the more she trusts you, the louder and more lingering her the song. The pig can even sprawl as pancake, to close eyes and to purr: "Fit-fit-fit-puiiiii!". Means, she weakened and pacified.
Similar sounds, only shorter, pigs communicate among themselves if they are on friendly terms. Probably, so they express recognition each other, share impressions. At the same time they can jump up up as if popcorn (among svinkovod is and is called – "to popkornit"). And to cheep slightly more loudly or more quietly, depending on emotionality of an animal.
Guinea pigs are little researchers. If to release to walk them on the apartment, it is possible to hear quiet gentle short sounds: "Boole-bul! Boole!". So pigs show curiosity, interest. During the love games of a mumps make the sounds similar to passing of bubbles through a tubule in glass with water: "Furrrr!" The sound can be lingering, monotonous, not too loud. At the same time they raspushat a nape, shift from one foot to the other from a pad on a pad.
Also same-sex pigs can exchange "love" sounds among themselves. So they study each other and designate borders of the territory.
Negative signalsThe scared guinea pig will say deaf Urrrr, similar to a vibrocall of phone and will small begin to tremble. And here she designates irritation by a short sharp vzvizg – for example when you carelessly touched it. If the pig becomes angry, she screams more for a long time, at the same time clicks teeth, kind of warning: "To me not to jokes!". One of the most impressive sounds made by a mumps can be heard at night. It is very sharp faltering peep similar to a cry of the bird who got to a drag-net. At the same time the mumps fades on the place, her look becomes glassy. The inexperienced owner can be frightened for the pet. Pigs call this sound relatives. Small children of pigs can express so the fear.
As guinea pigs are gregarious animals, to live alone to them sadly. If your mumps often makes a similar sound, try to caress more often the pet or settle to it in a cell of the friend.
If the pig is hungry, you do not miss it. She will get up in a rack and will shout stridently at all apartment: "Ui-ui-ui!", moving with ears. You wonder as far as such little small animal can be loud! Guinea pigs study the owners. Usually they remember sounds, for example, knock of a knife about a board at preparation of salad or a rustle of a package from which they get cabbage. Subsequently, having heard these sounds, pigs invitingly whistle. Also they well developed sense of smell. So on the quiet you will manage to have a snack on a cucumber hardly, "alarm system" immediately will turn on!
