Junior Guinea Pig
My 5 year old pig, George sleeps an awful lot! Most of the time I see him he is sleeping. He has always been quite a sedate pig, but more so these days.
An example is the other day I had put the base of the pigs' homes to soak in the bath and I had to go and put some washing on, so I put the lid of the cage over Elliot and Oscar, the naughty baby pigs and left George to his own devices as the room is safe, no wires or anywhere he can squeeze behind. I thought it would be lovely for him to have all that free range space in a place he felt comfortable. I left food out for him, put his water bottle where he could reach it and put his pigloo down for him with a pair of my fleecy pyjama bottoms in for him to lie on. I went up every half an hour or so to check on him and every time I went in he was fast asleep in his pigloo! He was so snoozy I decided not to disturb him, so kept checking on him every half an hour and he slept for 3 hours until I had to wake him up to put him back in his home. He also sleeps at night time from about midnight through to 5am. He must get up for a wee and a drink or nibble, but he goes straight back to bed til it's light! Is anyone elses pig this lazy?!?!
