Smokey and Bacon!

They are both great photos of your lovely piggies, don’t know which to choose, the black and white one stands out well, good for an avatar 😃
 
Ok everybody I’m quite concerned 😔😢
So I had Smokey and Bacon our for lap time and I let them out on my duvet cover (which I don’t do often) and built them a little fort with some cushions and a blanket, and Bacon kind of flopped over, I’m not sure whether it is popcorning or not but he did it multiple times, they’re back in their cage now and I refilled their hay and he’s eating fine, help me please!
 
If he's eating hay he's probably ok? Theo occasionally does dramatic flop downs on his side then takes a chookened out nap when his 4 wives have run him ragged and he's had enough excitement. Its tricky to say as everyone knows their own piggies best... if he's responsive and eating probably keep an eye on him in case it happens again, maybe get a piece of his fave veg and see if he'll run to it or follow you with it... you know him best but if he wont follow a piece of veg around in a co-ordinated way then it could be time for a vet trip, but this time of night that's very expensive and possibly a long trip if he was fine a few hours ago if he's still eating hay... keep us posted!
 
Phew, I was very panicked, he seemed coordinated when I put him back in the litter tray to put them in their cage, and he was eating the hay just fine, so I can stop panicking now?
Thank you so much for responding!
 
Just gave some broccoli and he’s happily munching away beside Smokey!

I don't know. Mine has cold feet. Damp too. Not eating teeth grinding when I feed him syringe food. He loves it lol. I'm worried about his front feet being cold and damp.
 
Sometimes piggies just are so tired they just flop down for a bit and then they recover quickly and get on with bimbling away doing guinea pig stuff. Maybe he was just tired.
 
Maybe, he was just sleeping using my belly as a pillow, I had to move them because I needed to stretch my legs because they’d been there for ages! 😂
 
There was a lot of popcorning when I properly cleaned out and refilled the hay tray, two immensely excited piggies!
 
I noticed when picking him up Bacon’s underside was damp, is that normal? He’s normal in every other way, it could’ve been from sitting on the hay if it was wet?
 
Keep an eye on it.
Mine occasionally have damp patches which quickly dry.
This comes from sitting on well weed on hay, sitting under a water bottle or may even be wee spray.

If it’s persistent then get a vet check but don’t panic just yet.
 
I'm worried because it hasn't happened before and it could've been a follow up from yesterday...:(:(:(
 
If you’re worried go to the vet.
It’s worth it to be reassured if nothing else.
It also means that if something is amiss you will catch it quickly.
