[Gpdd] BEHAVIOR: whimpering noises

[Brenda Colijn]

To Cyndee:  I think baby Ben is probably making happy noises when he 
cuddles and makes the little whimpering sounds.  One of my piggies does 
the same thing.  He doesn't really purr, but he'll make the little 
whimpers along with chittering and happy chewing noises, and he 
sometimes also licks my hand.  If he's afraid, he freezes, but he seems 
perfectly relaxed when he's making the little squeak/whimper sounds.  I 
guess that's just the way he "talks."  If Ben seemed really tense, he 
might be saying he's frightened, but if he's cuddling up to you and 
relaxing, it's probably just his way of talking to you.
