Guinea pigs burrow and come out mainly at night for feeding. This little fellow is sniffing around for some food during the day and to be honest, his eyes look a little tired!
The eyes of a healthy guinea pig should be bright and alert with no sign of discharge or cloudiness. The eye site of a guinea pig is extremely adept at picking up quick movements. Birds of prey are among their natural predators.
A good reference book to
