Why does my guinea pig do this

[tonithepig]

Hi so my guinea pig Toni sometimes just goes to the corner for no reason and sits and stares. When I pet him he doesn’t move and he feels so stiff. I don’t know why he does this out of nowhere, this is the second time he’s done this, is there something wrong?

He may be asleep. My Cutey Pie Dennis (RIP) used to do this. He had the same "lights are on but nobody's home" expression as Toni has in your picture. Is he acting normally when he comes out of his trance? Piggies generally sleep with their eyes open. They only nap for a few minutes at a time.

Yes he acts completely normal after I just thought they did that when they were sick or scared.
