Last night I changed the piggys cage from wood shavings to fleece. They all seem to love it and Gizmo gave it the seal of approval by taking a nice long nap outside. He sleeps with his eyes slightly open and I noticed that they were moving really qucikly just like REM in humans!

Have i gone totally insane or do you think he was dreaming? If he was it would be about cucumber :))
 
I think they do dream as sexy does this when he sleeps. (Havent seen my others totally asleep.) The first time i saw him lying there with his eyes rolling i thought he was having a fit :)) his leg sometimes twitches as well, like hes running in his sleep!
 
I'm pretty sure I saw Meeko chewing in his sleep! :)) He might have been awake and eating while lying down, but I'm sure he was sleeping and dreaming of food!

So I definitely think they dream. After all, dogs and cats definitely do.
 
ohh I love the thought of them having little piggy dreams running through fields full of hay. ha ha
 
Our Gord was once fast asleep and his ears were twitching and his eyes moving, it was so cute. They definitly dream and yes I would put money on it that they dream of cucumber!
 
I think mine dream about chasing cats :)) They do it out on the lawn (but only up to the bars of the run)
 
They must dream. Arnold twitches when he's asleep. They probly dream about food...Must be food.
Either that or they're dreaming about hay or their favorite place to poop :))
