Greetings mjsbone and thank-you for your question.

Please know that no query is "ever stupid" or too small. We are here to assist you as best we can, and for that please feel free to ask any question AND to further pass on any sound information upon personal observation and further research.

Yes indeed, cavies do sleep, and at times very soundly.- but they can be up on a dime as well, as that is nature's protection for these prey animals. Some folks consider these sweeties to be "high strung or nervous" but for me they are neither of the two, but rather an animal with a high flight response (to movement and noise) and it is up to us as owners to sympathize, negotiate, and **appreciate** their bearings.

Above and beyond your original question, is their anything else concerning you about your sweeties? Are they eating, drinking, and eliminating normally?

Thanks so much...
Kind Regards,
Rosalee


P.S. How long have you owned them?
