What made you say that?

Well maybe if you learned the correct way of typing (like, without capital letters at the start of every word) and was a bit more descriptive, we might be able to help... It's even more annoying than the chat speak to me.

The forum software will UNcapitalize words that are typed in all caps. It's more likely the post was typed in all caps and the software uncapped it.

Harry is just not sleeping very much. I get up alot a night and he is awake and does not really sleep at all during the day. I will probably end up taking him in, he is staring to have other problems.

Guinea pigs are usually are awake, they barely close theire eyes even when "sleeping". Although I've seen my pigs sleep with their eyes almost close but I've also seen them sleep with eyes open.

I think you don't have to be alarmed. And guinea pigs are sensitive to noise. Even the slightest 'tick' will alarm them.

What other problems are you noticing?

better

Thanks for responding....he is sleeping much better! I had to take him in to his vet, his eye had become red and over his pupil was a small white spot. The next day the white spot was bigger and his pupil was discolored. He had edema behind his pupil and was given a steriod eye ointment and his eye is much better..That could of been some of the reason for not sleeping well. Now he is all cuddled up and has his eyes close.I don't think he likes to miss anything that he lives in the middle of the livingroom. He is a snoppy one.

Thanks, Julie (Harrys mommy)
