funny noises

Question
I have two guinea pigs, Skittles and Lola, they're bothe female. Today, Lola started making strange noises, not the ones she normaly makes. I'm worried that beacause Skittles hogs the food it may be affecting Lola's health.What should I do?

Answer
Hello Elizabeth,

Without knowing the noise your piggy is making, I can't tell you much. I will give you a link to a page that describes the sounds piggies make and what they generally mean. That may help you figure out what's going on. As for the food problem, get 2 food dishes and place them on opposite ends of the cage. That way Skittles won't be able to keep Lola from eating. Good luck!
