What sort of crying noises?
Is she moving?
Has she been eating, drinking, peeping, pooping?
How old is she?

just like whelping noises its different from her usual cooing, shes about 9 or 10 months. shes acting just as she normally would just a bit quieter than normal. she seems to b jumping bout bit more as the night goes on.

Did she sound like a squeaky dog toy?
If so that is an alarm call & they use it when they have heard something they consider odd or dangerous - the call (a rapid set of squeaks) is used to warn the other chins in the herd.
