I am not sure if I understand floor time. I am hoping someone can explain what to expect. I put Hot Wheels on the floor to play and he just sits and huddles. He seems happiest on my lap. Sometimes I worry about him a lot because he just doesn't seem as active as it sounds other piggies are. What should I expect? He neither runs around in his cage, nor does he run around on the floor. We did get him to run back and forth under a blanket once. As a matter of fact, he really likes the blankets as a general rule and he is most active when I have a blanket out. Today I was terrified something was wrong with him, because he just sat and snuggled for over an hour and hardly moved. I put him on the ground and he did nothing but squeak at me. So I got a paper bag and put that down with some timothy hay inside of it and he finally ran in the bag and was nibbling his hay and hanging out. Of course then he peed, so maybe that's why he was squeaking before. He squeaks often before he pees. I don't know if he needs help and what to do to help him. I know there are posts on this topic, but I'm not finding them at the moment so I'm hoping someone won't mind terribly offering suggestions. Thank you.
