Why my guinea pig does these sounds2007-11-24 22:19:35

When two females meet, the lower rank one might address the other with a rumbling rattle that sounds like the male arousal sound. The lower rank female will lower her head, thus asking for a truce from the more dominant sow. Sometimes, the dominant sow may feel threatened by this act, and will respond with angry chattering. In both male and female guinea pigs, this teeth chattering is the precursor to a fight, and nasty bites can follow if no one backs down.

The low, constant, rumbling rattle that a male makes when aroused is definitely a sexual behavior, but some males and females will often engage in mounting activities as an expression of dominance. Females may mount females of a lower rank, or even the male. Of course, when a sow is in heat, she will make this same purring to signal the male that she is ready for mating.

When your guinea pigs are in high spirits, you may see them leap straight up into the air while curving their backs, or run across the floor and make several shorter leaps in rapid succession. This jumping, commonly referred to as "popcorn jumping", or just "popcorning", is the sign of a healthy and happy guinea pig, and is one of the real gems in guinea pig behavior.

Don't worry. Guinea pigs are by nature sweet but very nervous creatures. He's just a little scared or unsure of things. Usually they calm down after getting to know you but they are happiest in their cages.
Since shes a breeder she should know Guinea Pigs are usually full of mites, and they are very painful, even the most gentel touch can cause pain, it probably has nothing to do with you, and most breeders don't care for their pigs properely, and they come from horriable living conditions. Guinea pig breeders are stupid putting the female in danger of dying during birth, because they really have a hard time at it. Anyone who breeds cats, pigs, dogs, and don't know what they are doing needs their head examined.
