Question
my guinea pig will lick and bite my fingers and squeak loudly! what is he saying?

Answer
Hi Nicole,

Is your piggy quite a young piggy? This behaviour is typical of young or baby piggies as theyr every curious.

He can probably smell weird smells on your fingers, and being the curious piggy he is, is trying to taste them and try them. The squeaking is most likely excitement.

I hope I was able to help. if you have any further questions dont hesitate to ask! ;)
