A guinea pig's chirps are an important communication tool. Guinea pig chirps indicate pleasure, happiness, contentedness, and good feelings in general.

Nobody, not even vets, truly knows; some attribute it to heat, distress, or "for the fun of it". It is a rare phenomenon - you're lucky to have a chirper!

This is their normal form of communication. It is a way of saying "I'm here" or "give me my space".

Guinea pig chirp and whistle usually when they want to be fed. Feeders are available which attach to the side of the cage and continually feed the guinea pigs.

I heard that guinea pig chirping is related to stress - it a very rare noise. I also heard that it means that they are happy and it's very rare to have a guinea pig that chirps, but good luck!
