Answer 5

Dear Guinea Pig Inquirer,

Yes, that means that they're tired. In case you're wondering, it doesn't necessarily mean they are sick. Guinea Pigs get tired too!

It could also mean that they're bored. Try to engage your guinea pig in more activities everyday, and try and see whether the yawning dissipates.

Good luck,
