There could be many reasons for her slowing down, not all of which are medically related. If you are worried that there is something wrong with her, then you should see a vet

When you say used to. What time gap is this? Weeks, months, years?

yeah months
How old is Oreo now? Guinea pigs calm down noticeably from about 4 months of age and then again even more as adults from 15 months onwards. The older they become, the more they'll sleep.
We do however recommend a yearly vet check or a vet check up if you are worried.

Keep an eye on her weight, it will tell you if she's eating enough. Guine apigs are most active from about 5pm until about 12 pm then again in the mornings, mine sleep alot during the day and just eat any hay that is close by their mouths
