This is a Dumb question but here goes do piggies sleep more when they aren't feeling well a bit like us? ever since hes caught an ear infection (again!) he sleeps and eats and then sleeps again inbetween biting my fingers off in protest at his medicines
 
No mate it's not dumb! :)
I found with both our boys who both had probs over the years when they weren't well they'd be a bit more sleepy, but as i was away thru the day it was only on the weekends i'd see this...........
so **** not much help i'm sorry :(
 
I would imagine so, sometimes its only watching the piggies behaviour that we would notice something was amiss so presumably pigs either that weren't 100% would sleep more. I know when Maisie became ill her lack of enery/ sleepiness was one of the first things I noticed.
 
When Artie was ill with his uri he just slept all day i think sleeping does help them recover just like us :)
