Adult Guinea Pig
Just curious about the average amount of sleep that guinea pigs get. Mine seem to sleep in the morning and a little bit in the evening.
Normal amount of sleep?

I suppose if depends on their age, level of activity, general health.
My older piggies especially Jack regularly naps through the day, whereas Jellicoe (youngest) hardly seems to sleep unless he’s been out in the run then he flops in the nearest corner and snoozes.

My last pair generally napped for an hour, ran riot for an hour, napped for an hour, ran riot for an hour, all throughout the daylight hours. Then it got to sunrise or sunset and they were always up and about for that, and then at nighttime it was more like run riot for two hours, nap for an hour, run riot for two hours...you get the idea.
