My guinea pig seems angry?

Question

Recently i took my guinea pigs to the vet to look after them whilst i was away. Before, the eldest one was fine and always seemed quite happy. Now, whenever i pick him up he start trying to bite his nail? and starts making low noises? why is he doing this? is he angry?

Answer 1

that is an awful thing to say Haley, They are living creatures you can not just throw them to one side because you feel like it !!!

He will be fine, start by giving him a piece of carrot or cucumber, something that he'll enjoy. He will soon be in your good books again

Answer 2

Maybe he's just upset, or wondering where you've been. So you should just wait it out and see how he's acting in a couple of weeks. If he's not acting any better then you may want to bring her to a petstore and get a new one, because if you keep something that's that grumpy then it is really bad for your carma. and you'd get grumpy whenever you hold it.

Answer 3

Low noises and nail biting? Don't worry about the noises, that's how guinies talk, unless it's more like a flemmy kinda noise, but just grunting is fine. He's probably biting his nail because it got too long, they keep growing forever. If it's too long, it can actually get infected, so you might want to have it checked. Ask your vet if he clipped it's nails.
