Hey, guys! Today's video are six signs your guinea pigs love you and are tame. Guinea pigs are prey animals, and it can be hard to tell when they feel comfortable around you as most of them don't show their love as openly as other pets. However, there are some signs to tell you that you're your guinea pig's favorite person. So, here are six signs your guinea pigs love you.
嘿,大家!今天的影片是你的天竺鼠成功被你馴服又愛你的六個跡象。天竺鼠是獵物品種,而且很難看出牠們在你身邊到底自不自在,因為牠們大部分都不會像其他寵物一樣那麼公開地表達自己的愛。然而,有一些跡象可以判斷你是你的天竺鼠最愛的人。這裡有六個可以看出你天竺鼠愛你的跡象。
Your guinea pigs lick your hand.
你的天竺鼠會舔你的手。
Guinea pigs lick each other's ears to calm each other down or to show affection. If your guinea pig licks your hand, it's showing you their affection. Or, alternatively, you're sweaty, and your guinea pigs like salt. In either case, your guinea pig isn't scared of you and enjoys your presence.
天竺鼠會舔彼此的耳朵來讓對方平靜下來或表達愛意。如果你的天竺鼠舔你的手,代表牠在對你表達愛意。或者,你流很多汗,然後你的天竺鼠剛好喜歡鹽巴。無論哪種情況,你的天竺鼠都不怕你,而且很喜歡你的陪伴。
Your guinea pigs continue sleeping in your presence.
你的天竺鼠會在你面前持續睡覺。
This one might seem disinterested at first, but a guinea pig that continues sleeping when you enter the room or talk to your guinea pig is a very comfortable and happy guinea pig. Piggies don't sleep for hours at a time as humans do. They have shorter phases of sleeping and being awake, which means that they often rest and awaken quite easily. A guinea pig that continues sleeping when you enter the room or make a noise resists their instinct to get up and be alert. Instead, they know that you're their favorite person and all is well with the world.
這個一開始可能會覺得牠對你沒興趣,但當你進入房間或是跟你的天竺鼠說話時,牠還繼續睡覺的話,代表牠是一隻非常舒適又快樂的天竺鼠。天竺鼠不會像人類一樣一次就睡好幾個小時。牠們有較短的睡眠和清醒時段,也就是說牠們會常常休息而且很容易被喚醒。如果一隻天竺鼠在你進房間或發出聲音的時候還繼續睡覺,代表牠們在抑制自己起床並保持警覺的天性。相反地,牠們知道你是牠們最喜歡的人,有你在一切都會安好。
Adapt to your routine.
適應你的生活作息。
Guinea pigs are hungry little creatures and are very clever when it comes to remembering feeding times or chances for extra treats. If your guinea pigs are already waiting for you when you come home from school or work or are awake and looking at you when you get up in the morning, they love you very much.
天竺鼠是貪吃的小生物,而且遇到像是吃飯時間或有額外點心的機會時,就會記得特別清楚。如果你的天竺鼠在你放學或下班回家的時候已經在等你,或是你早上起床的時候發現牠已經醒來看著你,那代表牠真的很愛你。
Yawning when waking up.
起床的時候打呵欠。
A guinea pig that gets up quickly after resting is alert and wary of its surroundings. When guinea pigs take their time waking up—yawning and stretching for a few seconds and then slowly making their way over to you—they are resisting the prey animal in them.
如果一隻天竺鼠在休息之後很快起床,代表牠對周圍的環境是非常警戒和小心的。當天竺鼠悠悠哉哉地起床--打呵欠然後伸懶腰幾秒鐘再慢慢向你爬過去時--代表牠們正在抑制體內身為獵物品種的本性。
When your guinea pig talks to you.
當你的天竺鼠跟你說話時。
Sometimes your guinea pigs will talk to you. This might sound weird at first, but hear me out. You might come home and greet them or talk to them while entering the room, and your guinea pigs start wheeking when they hear your voice. Your guinea pigs are showing you affection by including you in their conversations. Usually, this behavior can be interpreted as "Well, there you are, human! Please bring snacks." In any case, I hope you feel loved when your guinea pig does that because not everyone gets to bring them snacks.
有時候你的天竺鼠會跟你說話。一開始可能會聽起來有點怪,但先聽我說。你回家的時候可能會跟牠們打招呼,或在進屋時跟牠們說話,這時你的天竺鼠聽到你的聲音便開始吱吱叫。你的天竺鼠透過跟你對話的方式來表達愛意。通常,這樣的行為可以被解釋為:「喔,你在這啊,人類!拜託快拿點心過來。」不管怎樣,我希望當你的天竺鼠這樣做時你都會感到被愛,因為不是每個人都可以餵零食給牠們的。
They climb on you or push your hand away or whatever else involves contact.
牠們會爬到你身上或把你的手推開或做任何有肢體接觸的舉動。
Guinea pigs don't tend to cuddle with each other once they've grown up, so whenever they actively try to play with you, they show you that they love you so much that they don't mind something that's not exactly natural for them.
天竺鼠一旦長大後就不太會相互依偎了,所以每當牠們主動想跟你玩耍時,就是在向你表示牠們很愛你,所以一點也不會介意這種對牠們來說不太自然的行為。
These were signs your guinea pigs love you. I hope you enjoyed this video and see you guys next time. Bye!
