Why the chirping?

i know it often happens during shell fights, but my hermies are happy as crabs! yet i always seem to hear chirping.... does this ONLY mean that there is a fight? That would be odd because my crabs get along great! any input would be appreciated!

They are pondering and lamenting about the meaning of existence.

they definately talk for the sake of talking sometimes - or at least reasons beyond human comprehension

My E's chirp all the time especially when establishing pecking orders and having those little feeler fights.

Darling and Pierre were at it this morning in the coconut shell after I sifted. It seems Pierre took Darling's cozy spot and Darling was lamenting about it before helping Pierre back into his own cozy spot.

Mine skip the chirping and go straight to the kicking (with the big pincher)
