Answer #5

All animals like humans thrive on interaction. They may not understand you and their instincts tend to focus on survival which is determining threat or nonthreat….so they are and can become receptive to voice vibrations particularly if they become a common sound they hear that is non threatening or associated with treats or something they deem positive.

Answer #7

Ohhh yes! If you don’t talk to a guinea pig, your bond with them with fade and they will think of you as a stranger. Bottom line, if you want them to like you, talk to them at least once a day.
