Absolutely! Just like all mammals they need periods of sleep to refresh and recharge. Sometimes they sleep with their eyes closed but often their eyes will remain open and they appear to be convulsing a bit. This called "torpor" and is scary to see but is generally not harmful to the animal. (Kind of like when a dog yips and "runs" in it's sleep.) Once the guinea pig senses your presence or smells your scent, they'll "wake up" and look right at you as if to say "Geesh....that was some dream!" :)

Do guinie pigs fight for dominance?
yes, but there are some exeptions. like if your 2 male/femail (if you don't want babys this is best) guinie pigs have been to gether since you adoped them and they've been in the same cage, then cances are they won't sudently turn on each other. but if one has made a home of the cage (urinated/ had a B.M.) then yes they will. to avoid this simply, wash the cage from to bottom, then bleach the cage, then do a wash to get the bleach out then rince the cage completly. this inshures that all of the one ginuine pigs smells are gone, after all that feel free to add another guinie pig, but make shure to daa them at the same time.if you do want baby guinie pigs then one male and up to 5 females. this way they wont be competing for a mate.
