Question
hi, ryan
please help me,
my guinea pig is lying down on the floor with her head down, shaped like a banana.in the shade,
and shes less active and is doing it for the most of the day i see her(one day only),but she still eats right.
she only does this once in a while.

is there something wrong?

or is she just relaxing or cooling off?

thanks

siaumy

Answer
Hello Siaumy and thanks for the question,

Lethargy is common in older GPs. Make sure that your GP has a clean and spacious cage and that there are no OTHER ADDITIONAL symptoms of poor health such as diarrhea, lack of eating/drinking and loss of weight.

It is good that you are so concerned but I don't think anything is wrong at this time.

Thanks,
Ryan
