Tiger's grumpy but it's not his fault and don't trust the google sounds to be accurate.  When he was growling his growls sounded like purring to us.

It's possible Tiger is grumpy because within 20 minutes of getting him home we had made two sets of t-shirts and hats and had him in and out of them several times. I don't think he ever recovered.

We later learned it's best if the guinea pig spends his first three days in a quiet part of the house then the next three days amongst the family but definitely with a place to hide that has a roof and no one goes near and after that short visits with treats.  

Who knows how talented Tiger would be if we had read the directions first.
