I know i havn't blogged for a long time, because i have had lots of homework, but what has just this minute happened was incredible!
I have two guinea pigs called Boing and Scruff, Boing is mine, where as Scruff is my brother's. so here i was, working on my platform example/game and i hear this quiet *cheep* *cheep* sound coming from their cage which is next to the computer, at first i didn't know what it was, so i had a look, Boing was sitting on the minneral lick, and making the noise, it grew in volume over about a minute, and sounded just like a small bird.I had heared about this before in a book, and apparently, it is very VERY rare! Even some of the most experienced breeders havn't heard it, where as these are my first guinea pigs and they are not even a year old yet!! we caught the event on a sound recorder on my mum's phone, i tried to capture it on video on the comuter, to no avail, due to a slow webcam (*damn!!*)I am so lucky to have seen this as it is a once-in-a-lifetime (or more than once-in-a-lifetime) event! i feel so proud of my Boing!! Scruff, my brother's guinea pig just sat and watched her,transfixed he was, silent and seemingly cautious.hope to blog again soon!small signing out
Congrats small. That's really interesting.
I know, they're bigger than hamsters and they cry and chirp all the time. >_>
@kabob and skulldust they do make squeaking noises all the time, but chirping sounds very different! I think you forget that I have told you that i was right next to them when it happened. even a guest to the house that has never seen them before (my uncle), knew that it was something different.
The one I had made chirping and squeeking noises.
they make a lot of noises, but chirping is different (they do make *chirp chirp* noises all the time, but chirping is the official term for when they go into a trance and make this realy loud noise, over and over.)
