What does teeth chattering mean for guinea pigs?
I know what you are talking about, I read that too. Though it’s not because they enjoy it, it’s because the music hurts their ears, so they make a “burr” sound as displeasure. It’s obvious, because when I hear a noise that hurts my ears or I find annoying, my piggies do the “burr”. Their ears are a bit more sensitive than ours. The real sign to look for if they enjoy it, is if they popcorn to it. The teethchattering however is a warning to back off. When he is teethchatter, with the hairs sticking up along his back, that’s an even more agressive warning of “I WILL bite you if you do not stop!” There is a difference in a teethchattering and them grinding down their teeth. When they are grinding their teeth down, they do it when they are content and relaxed, in a laying down position. You will also hear a sound like a tooth cracking.
