Hi all
So, I may be over thinking things, but do you think my boys are OK? I have had them for nearly a week, they are 3 year old boars and they live in a C&C cage in the corner of the kitchen. For the first few days they were pretty active and almost constantly eating but for a couple of days now they have just seemed to sit or lie around a lot moving only to munch a bit of hay. They just seem content to lie around watching us and waiting for someone to open the fridge! They are not arguing or fighting, they are not chewing their toys or hideys, are anyone else's pigs this inactive? ! I'm not worried as long as they are healthy and happy but is this normal? Picture attached showing their default positions......
 
Their usual position...

If they are both doing it I wouldn't be too worried, guinea pigs are most active towards the early evening time anyway. And the fact that they are reacting to the fridge is really good. Another thing is if they were sick, they would be hiding away

Adult guinea pigs tend to spend a lot of time lounging... I work from home and my pigs are most active early in the morning (when the kids get up and mooching treats is likely to be successful) and again in the evening, when they get floor time and snacks. Although they do periodically eat and drink during the day, they spend a lot of time just laying around. It's a pretty sweet life, being a guinea pig! LOL!

My pigs are the same, I think all are like it. Then my rats don't come out until around 10pm now until around 7am, then my gerbil is like the Guinea pigs
