"teeth chattering" by guinea pigs Sept 22, 2014 23:26:20 GMT

According to this article: www.guineapighub.com/guinea-pig-sounds.html

it seems that my guinea pig is making the sound called "teeth chattering." But the description of why they make such a noise doesn't seem accurate. Apparently my guinea pig is annoyed or agitated but I dont feel that way at all. Any other experienced guinea pig owners can give me some insight to this? I'm prettty sure my guinea pig is happy or excited while making this noise because of his friendly actions following, but i'm not too sure. Does teeth chattering ONLY mean hes agitated?

thanks in advance.

I'd have thought it meant fear. Did you watch the video of that and the chutting though? I thought they were fairly similar, so maybe the noise that you hear from two is actually chutting?

Interesting article anyway, thanks for posting!
