Guinea Pig Sounds? Help!?

Question

My guinea pig is making sounds that actually sound like an owl. I listen to his lungs & they sound clear. He does not make this sound all the time only some of the time. Does anyone know what this sound means or have heard their guinea pig make a sound similar to this?

Answer 1

That's just a typical guinea pig sound.

Answer 2

In my opinion I believe something scared him. I had many guinea pigs growing up and they made lots of noises.But this one in particular was different. That's my guess. Experiment by making certain noises (not too loud) near him and see if he makes this "owl" sound. Good luck.

Answer 3

Piggies with heart problems make a hooting sound that sounds like an owl. You should have the piggie examined by a competent exotics vet. X-rays will need to be taken.

Heart conditions in guinea pigs are more common in older boars and can be controlled successfully with medication.
