Answer
Hi Emma

Most squeaks are positive with guinea pigs but much of what you describe can be explained by your two new pigs settling into their new home.

In terms of personality, I am sure it just depends on when you take them out. For example, if they need a pee they will be a bit restless or if you have disturbed them having a rest.
