standing in corner

[koolkathan]

So, as you know I have a guinea pig named Stan, but recently he has been coming out of his hut, going to eat his food, which he almost eats it all, and then he just stands or lays down can't tell the difference yet in a corner on his hay and like just keeps there all day and doesnt move unless you pick him up, it's like he's in a daze? staring away. Can anyone help? I'm going to be buying him some more interaction toys but I just wanted to know what this is? He's not unhappy or anything at all.

I think a lot of single pigs do that, I know Iggy did when he was on his own. Without the interaction of their own kind I think they feel quite lost sadly.

Guinea pigs are social animals and should be kept with a companion, unless they have a certain health concern.

Well when I got him there is a specific reason why he can't be put with other cavys.

I remember your other post, just because some pigs don't get on it doesn't mean they have to be alone for the rest of their lives. He's obviously missing companionship as he's behaving like that.

Like I said in your other post sadly Pets At Home don't know the first thing about piggies so give the wrong advice all the time
