I have had my 2 cavies for 2 weeks now. My white one now is laying on its side in the cage under a hideaway. Earlier today she was really grumpy and didn't want to be touched. She's only like 2 months old. I'm kind of scared for her and I'm not sure what to do. If you're reading this, please help :(
 
When you feed them vege or fruit, do they get it from your hand?
 
I usually leave them treats in a seperate bowl in the cage and sometimes hand feed them. She's been eating well enough though. Everytime my other cavy bumps into her and goes near her she gets up but always lays down again. I just noticed this today.
 
I would absolutely get her to the vet asap!

Okay at first I was thinking maybe she/he was just sleeping and tired. I know my guinea pigs like to lay on there sides in there hideaways and just rest. But later on you mentioned that she/he would get up and then lay right back down. So is she/he really lethargic? Has she/he come out of her hideaway at all? You said she/he's still eating fine...

But the only way to know for sure is to take her/him to a vet and be checked out!

Good luck. Keep us updated!
 
has she been to the vet at all since you got her? i would take her even if she wasn't sick, for a piggy welness check up. If you havn't done this with her cagemate either, i would take him along.
