gerbils are known to squeak when they are either exited scared or just communicating with each other! it is perfectly fine! my gerbil squeaks when i enter the room or accidentally scare her! hope this helped

My gerbil squeaks all the time, nothing to be worried about =)

Answer 3

No it is no bad. Actually it is very good!!

Piggies love to talk (squeak), if you talk to them they will continue like their is a true conversation going on.

Another thng they like to do is shake their head and do like a hop or jump. Again, this is a sign of hapiness and excitement.

Your making your guinea happy - way to go!!

Maybe there is not enough oil in it's diet?

Maybe they are mice and not gerbils?

Answer 9

It could be bad, but it may not. Squeaking is usually a sign of unhappiness. It's kind of like saying "leave me alone". If they're both in the hut together and one is squeaking, I'd think the other is grooming too roughly. Sometimes, my gerbils do this but they absolutely adore each other. It's nothing to really worry about. If you're concerned, you can just check on them. Lift the hut and see what they're up to.
