This is quite normal. Piggies are not "pigs" and will only eat as much as they need, they will not "pig out". Th rest of the time, they will sleep and poop! And if they are very young they will spend a lot of time running about, if they have the space. Please tell us more about them. How old are they, boys or girls? Where did you get them, what breeds and colours are they? What are they living in, hutch or cage? Post some pics if you can.

Most piggies are active in the morning and late afternoon/evening and tend to sleep/quietly browse throughout the day. If your gils are very skittish, you could try to place a towel or fleece over the top of the cage to encourage them to feel safer being out in the cage.
here are tips on how to make them more comfy and how to start building up a relationship with them:
