Ok, my guinea pig is creeping me out..?

He's rumbling and shaking his hips at ME. Is this normal?

Ok, my guinea pig is creeping me out..?
Hi,





My guinea pigs do this too! You don't say what sex your pig is, but if it is a male like mine then I may have a solution!





My guinea pigs used to be kept togther but they suddenly started to rumble and grunt at each other, walking slowly and swaying from side to side.





We discovered that this was them fighting (or getting ready to) and were being territorial.


We could have had them neutered but this is quite expensive (around £50 per piggie) so we split them up instead.





They now have no problem being on their own and are happy to run around outside in their run, just seperately!





Obviously, if your guinea pig not male then this message has not helped you! However if it is, then it may be being territorial towards you!





Hope this helps!

Reply:He want you girl he is ready to mate.
Reply:There's two reasons why they do this - they're flirting with a girl or they're about to fight. If there's another male and a female is around, it can be both! If your piggy is male he's likely goofing off. If his hackles raise, THEN you've got a problem!
