Sleeping all day

[kteeea]

Should I be worried?

My two have been sleeping on and off all day... I've been in the same room all day because I've been doing my uni work... they were active this morning, chasing each other... but since about 12 they've been sleeping mostly, getting up to eat then going back to sleep!

Is this normal?

My lot are always like this so i don't think you should worry too much my lot just like waking me up at 2am when they are chasing each other round rolleyes

Eric does nothing but sleep! I have to poke him when I get home to make sure he's ok. I've no idea how old he is though - I suspect he's an older pig so that might explain why he sleeps so much. He only gets up to eat and flirt with Babe, sometimes he does the flirting from bed he's so lazy!Also his oval bed from hammocky hammocks looks very comfy so it's no wonder he wants to spend all his time in it! (Ernie used to do the same - see my avatar!)

My Sergio also sleeps a lot and he is not even old In fact he is sleeping right now. I don't think that you should worry about it,maybe you've made such a cosy little house for him that he can't help it!

My OAP's, as we call them ... Stuart, Josie and Sparrow ... seem to sleep alot. Well, they are in their bedroom but I think they are just cuddling really.

Particularly Josie and Sparrow - Stuart seems to be out in the "lounge" area on his own.

As long as your piggy is active at other times and eating/drinking as normal, then hopefully all is ok. If in doubt though, pop him to the vet.

I keep seeing the title of this thread and thinking 'yes please!' I'd love to sleep all day...

Captain Jack, who is 5, sleeps pretty much all of the time he isn't eating. He stretches right out and looks dead. He can't hear much either so sometimes I actually get as far as poking him thinking he's dead, before he moves!

They've got a lovely life really - sleep, eat... eat some more... sleep... eat etc etc!
