My rabbit did that frequently. It doesn't mean anything bad, infact it's a good thing. When your rabbit does that, it helps to grind down their teeth so the bottom teeth don't curl up in the the roof of their mouth. It doesn't mean they want out or anything, although that's not a bad thing to let them get excersise. Don't stop your rabbit from doing that but I would suggest buying it wood sticks to chew on.

∙ 15y agoIt could mean several things. The most common would be that your pig needs to wear down his teeth and there isn't anything for him to chew on. My suggestion is to give him some wood toys, branches etc (that are positively non toxic) to help him. Another reason could be boredom, the toys will also help with that.

∙ 15y agoNo, not if the bars are metal. Sometimes it may sound like it. These animals will need wood toys to chew on. Their teeth will keep growing and they need to chew on hard objects to keep their teeth worn down.

∙ 14y agoI have never heard of any animal eating metal so no it shouldn't
No but will bite a cage or "eat" the wood, make a hole and escape! Hamsters will "cheek up" dried melon seeds and deposit them in a corner of the cage without eating them. Purina whatever food is best.

∙ 13y agoGuinea pigs are more likely to bite themselves if they have mites or a skin condition that is causing them irritation. Guinea pigs can be washed very gently, regularly, to avoid this being a problem. Get a shampoo that is specially made for pets and dilute it really weakly in a bowl of warm water. Use a soft cloth to gently wipe your guinea pig all over. This should stop the biting after awhile.

∙ 8y agoWell there are a couple of reasons.. the most common is that your Guinea Pig is trying to shorten his / her teeth ,for this id buy a wooden toy, try not use branches as the wood gets stuck in there teeth and throat. Although it could be bordem.. to resole bordem you could play with them (stroke them)or buy them more toys

∙ 13y agoIts probably because you dont trim them enough. If you trim them once a month and they still bite their nails then they dont have anything to chew on in their cage.

Guinea pigs may squeak when they are being held because they are communicating their feelings, such as being scared, uncomfortable, or wanting to be put down. Even if there are no other guinea pigs around, they still vocalize to express themselves and communicate with their human caregivers.
No, mother guinea pigs do not eat their babies after weaning. In fact, they continue to care for and protect their young until they are old enough to fend for themselves.
In general, spiders do not pose a direct threat to guinea pigs. However, it's best to keep spiders away from your guinea pig's living space as some spider bites can be harmful to small animals. It's important to ensure your guinea pig's environment is clean and free of any potential hazards.

A guinea pig does not bite it owns hands. Like other animals it cleans itself. You can see this in healthy guinea pigs. Young guinea pigs, who has been taken from their mother too soon, does not always learn how to clean themselves.
