| Re: i have a qustion When a GP is alseep with their eyes open you can tell usually as they have their head down on the ground, spawled out, not moving much. I know when i accidently make too much noise they will wake up or act ''stunned'' =). I have heard that some sleep with their eyes closed once they get more comfortable, mine have never done it though. |

| Re: i have a qustion Kero sleeps with his eyes half closed now. With his "eyebrows" he looks like he's contemplating murduring anyone who makes too much noise. I know he's a sweet boy but the way his eyes look he looks so fierce :P |

| Re: i have a qustion If I was guessing, I'd say it has to do with guinea pigs being prey animals. In the wild, they would always have to be on the lookout for predators, so even though you don't want to hurt them, it's most likely instinct to keep eyes open. |

| Re: i have a qustion I don't know if guinea pigs need to sleep with their eyes closed but they will only do it when completely relaxed and safe. Usually tucked away in a house. Most prey animals have a sort of half asleep state where they can still get rest when in a less than completely safe situation. Most also need to sleep completely at least every few days. Such as some animals sleeping standing up. They can't sleep standing up for weeks on end without getting stressed but they don't lay down every night either. |
