My guinea pig Theo, who I just got less than a week ago, is clearly very comfortable with me. He jumps in my arms whenever a stranger is holding him and I walk towards them, and he starts squeaking immediately when he’s back near me.
I have heard that guinea pigs will wait until they’re comfortable with you to lay down and close their eyes to sleep. But it seems like he’s asleep every other time I check on him. His routine seems to be: eat, drink, sleep, eat, drink, sleep, etc.
I also saw a little drop of water in his eye this morning while he was sleeping. But that’s all I’ve seen as far as watery eyes goes.
When he’s not sleeping, he seems very happy and active and squeaks happily when I hold him. He eats plenty, and never refuses food when I give it to him. But he seems pretty lazy a lot of the time, and that worries me.
