Oreo chews the sides of his cage, he also refuses to play with his toys. All he does is sit there, eat his food, eat his bedding (which is
most likely not good) and chews his cage. He also sleeps alot.
Should I be worried??

You've mentioned this behavior a few times over the last year. It sounds like its pretty normal for him. Is there anything specifically he's doing
differently that would indicate there's a problem?

he also makes a weird noise when he goes to the bathroom. He doesn't go that often anymore but he doesn't drink alot. I've tried cranberries but he
refuses to eat them.

My guess would be the "weird noise" he makes when he pees is either a whimper or a grunt. If he's making noises when he pees, you need to have
him seen by a cavy-savvy vet. It is likely indicating either a UTI or bladder stones. Cranberries won't fix either problem, even if he did eat them (at
best, he might feel a little better, but it wouldn't fix the problem).
