Is it normal for a guinea pigs to make like a cooing noise?

When she does this she also shakes,,,
Answers:
I could be 2 things, either are okay. Since you say she is "shaking" while she is doing this noise, I would say that she probably is rumblestrutting. When they rumblestrut, they kind of move their butt back and forth. It usually happens when a female is in season or when a male is romancing other pigs or showing dominance. My boys rumble at eachohter throught the bars to show who is tough.
She could also could be purring which just means that she like you petting her. If it happens after a sudden noise, then she's just saying that she didn't like the noise. Here's a site with sounds and explanations http://jackiesguineapiggies.com/guineapi...
Yes.It means they are happy.Mine do it when I pet them in their favorite spots.
yeah it is. mine does it when its horny...
but sometimes when its scared.
dont worry though.
squeaky sounds means its happy :)
yes completely normal, my friend had a guinea pig and it purred and shaked when it purred. but i found it cute
no maybe it has something stuck in its troaght
Yes. It means they are content, it's like a cat purring. We had one that would whistle and chirp every time she heard the refrigerator door open because she wanted a carrot! They are great pets!
Yeah, i used to have some guinea pigs and they did this also. I dont think that anything is wrong.
Yes, it often happens when you are petting guinea pigs and it means that they are happy and content. Try this site here.

It has a list of different sounds and what they mean, try matching them to the sound your guinea pig makes.
yes it's normal. they do this when they are happy, or content. or if your scratching them, it means keep scratching there!
yes that means they are happy
I've only heard my guinea pig do this a couple times. It's completely normal. Guinea pigs make all kinds of sounds. And a guinea pig making a "cooing noise" means that all is well.
yup, my guinea pig does that2
They usually do that just before they die.
yea it's normal.i have 2 and when mine does that i look at them and they are cute they r just happy lil piggys!

hope this helps!!

  1. That's so mean. She's only 5 months. She's not dying. She chirps and woots a lot. When she gets a little restless I put her back in her cage. I've only had her fortwo days though. She's is sooo adorable
