Why do guinea pigs grind or chatter their teeth? |
[Edit] |
Answer
It means they need a chew toy. They need to wear down their teeth. Get them one as soon as you possibly can.
Answer
Guinea pigs chatter with their teeth when they're aggravated or getting mad. It's a warning signal of a sort.
Answer
My Guinea Pig does this when she is nervous, sometimes I also think she wants to get my attention. Chew things are essential to Guinea Pigs having healthy teeth.
Answer
It is not from them getting mad or "warning" you unless you do something to HARM them. They will only use this as a warning when another guinea pig is being aggressive to them.If the guinea pig is doing it "TO" you it is because he/she is nervous or scared when you are holding her or trying to pick them up. Just use calm words, and a treat of parsley or another veggie to reward them and put them at ease.
