Spud fell asleep on my lap and started twitching. This is the first time he's done this and he falls asleep on me often. He keeps waking up and looking round just fine then going back to sleep and twitching again. I don't know if he does this when he's napping in his cage because he wakes up if I go near him so I don't know if this is normal?

Is he just dreaming or is something wrong?
 
He's woken up a bit on edge so I think it's a bad dream probably about humans forgetting dinner or something horrific like that

He's a bit warm so I'm going to put him back but I'm pretty sure he's ok.

Dreaming piggies can twitch; I've watched quite a few of them, including my Hywel who woke himself up when rumblestrutting in his dreams... :D
