When I reach into the cage to stroke Freddie in the evening he often stretches out and lies down with his back feet on one side as if he likes it, but rumbles like he doesnt, like a warning sound.
So, do I carry on or am I in danger of having my hand bitten off?

Can't rumbling or purring be a sign of pleasure or liking as well. Because that is what my boars do everytime there by females..or smell them? I would almost said he likes it. With his feet kicked out and such. Sometimes whenever my guineapigs are by a fan or something on a hot day they will start to purr lightly. I guess this is something I'm curious bout too.

He may just be a little be cautious or possibly trying to be a big man saying I dont need to be touched but secretly enjoying the attention, he sounds like he is settled and comfortable bless him. Digby purrs when he is stroked but it is on his terms and I guess they can change at any time so just be careful  |

I know how you feel lol.
I am always trying to work out what they are saying, and when I listen to GP sounds on a google search, none of them sound like what my Tincker and Stincker are trying to say!

Listening to sounds online! That's probably beyond me - I certainly wouldnt have thought of it! I expect its a bit like birdsong though - very few of the birds I dont know make sounds that sound like anything on the id tapes...  Freddie has started just enjoying the stroking without making a complaining noise now - or only just a little! Reason for Editing: typo |
