Do guinea pigs make croaking and chirping sounds?

Guinea pigs are known for their varied vocalizations, but croaking and chirping are not typical sounds they make.

Here are some of the most common guinea pig sounds:

* Wheeking: This is the most common sound, a high-pitched squeak, usually used for getting attention or expressing excitement.

* Purring: A rumbling sound similar to cats, usually indicating contentment.

* Chirping: A short, high-pitched chirp, often used for communicating with other guinea pigs.

* Squealing: A loud, shrill sound, usually indicating distress or fear.

* Whistling: A high-pitched whistle, sometimes used as a warning.

* Clicking: A clicking sound made with their teeth, often used to grind them down.

Croaking is more common in amphibians, while chirping is more typical of birds. If you hear a guinea pig making strange, unusual sounds, it's best to consult a veterinarian to rule out any health issues.
