Jenny is tweeting

I picked Jenny up for a cuddle today as the rest ran away when I got into their cage and couldn't be bothered chasing them. It's so nice that Jenny doesn't mind getting a cuddle - as long as it's a quick one.

I sat with her on the bed and she got comfy on my shoulder underneath my hair - a very unusual position for her. I was getting a bit worried about this when she suddently started chirping. Jenny never makes any noises, she never wheeps, the most you hear is her snorting nose when it's blocked again - something that is happening quite often this summer - I think she might have hay fever. Anyway, you can understand why I was so amazed at hearing her chirp. And especially when sitting on my shoulder. It wasn't a very loud chirp - nothing like Chloe's chirping which you can hear across the house - but definitely a chirp. I feel really blessed. Isn't she just an amazing pig?

The opinions on why guinea pigs chirp differ greatly. There has never been a satisfactory explication. However, I think I have unravelled the mistery tonight:

Chriping = Tweeting
