Why Do Guinea Pigs Squeak?
Guinea pigs squeak for a variety of reasons. For instance, it could squeak because it was either startled or excited. Sometimes, guinea pigs squeak just to call their cage mates. At the same time, there is a possibility of a guinea pig squeaking out of pain. Squeaking covers a broad range of guinea pig noises, so let’s discuss each one.

1. The Guinea Pig is Startled
Out in the wild, guinea pigs are prey animals. They are a meal to many animals up in their food chain. They always have to stay cautious of their surroundings. Therefore, when something happens suddenly they are startled, which could make them squeak for a while until they make sense of what just happened.
For instance, if you entered your guinea’s room too fast and they don’t see you coming, there is a huge chance they are going to be startled by the sound of sudden movement. Similarly, if you are sitting by your guinea cage and your guinea is looking in the other direction, you swoop your hand inside the cage to pet him. He will be startled big and will act jumpy and squeak. Such freakedout guinea pigs might keep on squeaking until they freeze for a moment, assess the scene, and realize that everything is fine.
2. Guinea Pig is Excited

3. Your Guinea Pig Loves You And Wants Your Attention
Guinea pigs are social creatures. They love their loving owners and sometimes all they want is some quality time with them. Besides, guinea pigs don’t want to stay cooped up in their cage throughout the day. Therefore, if your guinea pig sees you around, he may squeak to get your attention. In such cases, guinea pigs squeak in anticipation that their owners would let them out of the cage, hold them, play with them, and pet them.
4. Guinea Pig is Calling His Cage Mate
Guinea pigs develop a strong bond with their cage mates and when one of them goes missing—out of their sight—they start squeaking while going around the cage looking for them. So, if you took one guinea pig out of the cage, just to play with him or to take him to a vet, the other guinea pig in the cage may start squeaking. This is more common in male and female pairs.
5. Guinea Pig is Hurt
Like other prey animals, guinea pigs do not let others, even their owners, get a hint about their sickness. However, there are many sick guinea pig signs that help their owners get a hint that their guinea pig might be sick. So, if you hear your guinea pig squeaking, you should go and check if he is doing alright. If your piglet is showing any other signs of sickness, you should immediately contact your vet.
6. Guinea Pig Is Sensing Danger
When sensing danger, often guinea pigs make a chirping sound. If there was a sudden noise or commotion in the house and your guinea pig does not know if it is safe out there or not, he may start squeaking like a bird until he becomes confident that there is no looming threat.
