The guinea pig is probably asking for shelter because it's a prey animal and worried about being killed by birds, critters, pets, etc..

It's probably not asking anything as it most likely has no concept what a question even is or any theory of mind about humans.

They tend to get stressed being exposed outside because they want to feel secure. They know they can't fight against predators.

They actually make special whistle noises just for humans and they certainly ask for food. The are very social, and can get very depressed alone or if a partner dies.
