Content or bored?

[gayfurryclown]

Hi hi, Loi here

So, I’m always worried that I’m not doing enough to entertain my two girls, Kinoya (Kino for short) and Fen. They’re about 7 months old now, and throughout the day, they mostly just lay around in their hideys. I worry that they’re bored.

I do my best to provide enrichment, like:
- At least an hour of floor time per day,
- Foraging,
- Scatter-feeding pellets/veggies,
- Hay-stuffed toilet rolls,
- And noodle forests,
Among other things, but they’re still pretty inactive for the most part.

Am I worrying too much? Are they just lazy and this is normal, or could I do more? Is it just their natural sleep cycle?

Any thoughts and advice are appreciated, thank you!

When I was learning about piggies I read somewhere that they are active 22 hours a day....my lazy boys did NOT get that memo

They aren’t bored, and sound to be very normal piggies! You are providing enrichment plus the most important part - companionship of their own kind.
They are not going to be running around constantly, they will be affected by the heat of the day etc. they will forage, nap, forage and then nap again. They are crepuscular so are most active in the early mornings and late evenings and will spend a lot of the day seemingly lazing about
