World Enough and Time

That she is. A curious and hungry one.

combined with your icon it looks like the Doctor is aiming his sonic screwdriver at her. What would gappen? Speech? Blue eyes?

From:

A guinea pig who has adventures in space and time? Squeaker might like that...

From:

It's an interesting thought...
The Doctor's new companion is... very small, furry, and communicates in squeaks!

From:

I'm not sure whether that qualifies as 'never talking back to him' or talking back to him all the time.... But why not have a guinea pig on the Tardis?

From:

It's a cute idea. And the squeaks would be translated by the Tardis, of course!

From:

Of cousre. Into what would probably sound like a northern accent.

From:

I'd expect a guinea-pig to have a South American accent!

From:

It's hard to tell, with squeaks.

From:

What a cute wee beast!
And I love the glowing demonic eyes...

From:

Glowing demonic eyes are her specialty.

And very aptly named, too :-)

From:

Noisy little critter, but cute, always cute.

From:

P.S. Not noisier than budgies, of course. Not nearly as noisy!

From:

Awww! *hugs her*

Honey would love her. Honey likes to be friends with all piggies.

PS, I'm back with Honey! :D

Squeak!

I was just reading on wiki about the language of guinea pigs - wheeking, popcorning, squealing, tribbling... all of it cute!

From:

Isn't it fascinating?!! :D

Honey is pretty quiet, mostly whines and bounces around.

From:

Squeaker squeaks a lot, and tribbles, and sometimes huffles. Purrs too.

From:

Oh Honey purrs. I think she talks more than squeaks, but that might just be my interpretation...

I don't think she's ever whistled.

From:

I think Squeaker might be capable of whistling, but I've never heard anything I'd call a whistle.

I do hear a lot of scuffling from that cage, though.

From:

Have you given her carrots or lettuce yet? If so, she might start whistling whenever you open the refrigerator or rattle a bag.

From:

Yes, I give her carrots every day. And there is a great deal of excited squealing when I get out the bag of carrots. She can sense it from the next room.

From:

Haha, she's working on a whistle. They seem to do it more when they are in groups.

From:

To do the group thing at my place, she'll have to master taking human or budgie.

From:

It'd be cute if she started making budgie noises!

Honey is so quiet, it must be because she's alone with me, but she's extremely active otherwise, so I know she's happy!

That said, she can be very noisy with the little noise she makes, primarily whining. I find that hilarious. She sounds like a two year old.

Honey is so quiet, it must be because she's alone with me

I suspect most guinea pigs are a lot more quiet than Squeaker is. I think she's at the far end of the 'noisy' spectrum for her kind.

Which is far short of the 'quiet' end of the spectrum for a budgie, and my little feathered guys specialize in rambunctious mayhem.

From:

I bet you my mom's Sparky could beat her. I can hear him when I'm approaching her apartment door, from the outside.

From:

I don't think I can hear Squeaker through the outside door, but I'm not sure whether that's because she's too quiet to hear, or because she's so totally drowned out by budgie-song.

From:

Haha.
