How Long Do They Sleep For?

[TheCavySlave]

Godfrey and Duncan seem to have been asleep for ages, way longer than ten minutes. Of course, I'm not sure if they're sleeping, then waking up when I leave, but I'm worried. Is this a bad sign? Or am I panicking too much again?

Guinea pigs do three things with great passion, poop, eat and sleep for hours and hours on end ..with maybe a tiny bit of zoomies and popcorning if they so desire...you definitely don't need to worry I suspect they are just very chilled out piggies... it's a Guinea pig lifestyle choice!

Guinea pigs are neither diurnal or nocturnal
They have over 24 hour period sleep and then wake cycle is divided up into three hours each so that be awake for three then asleep for three and so on and so on I hope this helps
I find a sleep cycle fascinating
