My guinea pig lays around all day so that means he is content and peacful FALSE Most likely your guinea pig is very bored and possibly depressed. Guinea pigs need toys for stimulation and fun. Every time the cage is cleaned, the toys should be changed. You should have enough toys for a few rotations each time. Your cage needs to be large enough for toys and plenty of floor space for laps and popcorning. http://www.cavycages.com/toys.htm
If you guinea pig is an only pig, he needs a friend. Guinea pigs are herd animals and love to be in the company of each other. They are very social and a pig being alone has nobody to socialize with. Getting your guinea pig a friend will not make your guinea pig not want to be with you anymore. On the contrary, you will have a happy healthy pig who will be so thankful to you.
