If he meant to bite, you'd have had a nip mark or he'd cut the skin.

Aw the wee fella was wondering what it was petting him. My boys used to do it too.

Guinea pigs do nibble . If he meant to bite you it would have been really sore and most probably bleeding

Unless it broke the skin it was probably just a nibble, if a pig means it they will draw blood. I got bitten on the chin by my old stroopy male, been nibbled loads by my tame girl because she just loves nibbling my neck :L
