Guinea Pig Lovers discussion

What is your favorite thing a guinea pig does? My favorite is when he purrs and when he runs!!

i love everything about em! but i really like when they purr and when they squeal!

i love when they kiss your face!

I like it when you bring them their fruit and then they start to squeal.

i like it when they popcorn! (when they jump up and down and squeal)

i like it when they jump into my lap

My baby, Ellie, licks my nose :) I love that!

haha my pigs always lick my fingers!

ya does anyone no why guinea pigs lick you? does everyone's do that?

Yeah mine always lick me! I assume that its cuz u have something on ur hand that tastes good. or maybe they just like it. i'll google it.

Aha! It says that they like to groom us. lol.

heres something from another site:

Yes, some guinea pigs like to lick you, while you are holding them. I like to think of it as guinea pig kisses. Not all guinea pigs do it, 3 out of my 6 guinea pigs love to give out piggy kisses, Peachy, Sweetpea and Squeekie. Peachy is an extremely licky pig, as soon as I start holding her she acts like a very friendly dog :) It really is very cute. Even though I like to think they are being extra affectionate, some people think its because your skin tastes of salt which they like. I'm not completely convinced, so I'm sticking to the idea of very affectionate behaviour.

I used to have a cat that always licked my when I brushed her. Just though I would add that. My guinea pig never licked me though... :-(

my guinea pig used to bite me, then started licking. Does anyone else's guinea pig do that? Why do they bite?

They bite cuz either they're annoyed, you taste good, theyre bored, or theyre trying to tell you something. For example, my piggie Thor bites when he wants to be put in his cage to pee.

To answer a post

Gp lick you for your salf (sweat) because they like it

I loved it when my Lucky jumped on top of his plastic igloo house.

My pigs jump on there houses too:)

I like how they squeak loudly whenever I open the fridge.

When they popcorn! It is sooooo Adorable!!
