Unlike hamsters, guinea pigs aren't nocturnal and don't sleep for long periods. They just take small naps during the day and night. They often don't close their eyes unless they are feeling very relaxed and even then its not very often, as guinea pigs like to be on the alert for danger. Many guinea pigs will just relax and rest their head on the ground, others will be totally relaxed and spread out their hind legs. Here's a couple of photo's of my guinea pigs. In the first photo, Jake is very relaxed and carefree and is just probably thinking 'oh not that camera thing again! :) The second photo shows Peachy relaxing but she's not completely relaxed because she's probably thinking the same as Jake and is being watchful.When a guinea pig is around the age of 4 plus, they tend to rest/sleep more than a younger guinea pig.
