Some signs that indicate a pet guinea pig is happy include:
-
Wheeking: Guinea pigs often make high-pitched noises known as "wheeking" when they are excited or happy.
-
Popcorning: Popcorning is a behavior in which guinea pigs jump and twist in the air, typically seen when they are feeling joyful.
-
Active behavior: Happy guinea pigs are usually active and engage in playful behavior, such as running around their enclosure or playing with toys.
-
Relaxed body language: A content guinea pig may have a relaxed body posture, with their ears and whiskers in a neutral position.
