Guinea pigs communicate through various sounds, and squeaking combined with shaking can indicate either excitement/anticipation (like 'wheeking' for food), fear, or discomfort/pain. Observe the context: Is it around feeding time or when handled? If accompanied by lack of appetite, lethargy, or hunched posture, it could signify illness or pain. Stress can also lead to unusual behaviors. Ensure a safe, quiet environment and check for injuries. If unsure or if symptoms persist, it's best to consult a vet. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.Clinically Approved Standard by Dial A Vet Veterinary Team
