Is my guinea pig a nut??

i'll rub his belly and he lays down like a doggy .he falls asleep with me ghen i take a nap and i just put him back in his cage and he is running around it like a crazy person!what the heck is wrong with him lol and he is squeaking
Answers:
nothing is wrong. he just loves it when you pet him. your lucky to have a nice guinea pig.
my guineas used to like being put on their backs. that's cool. gerbils won't lie on their backs tho : (. it just shows shows that he's tame and he trusts you. since he's on his own it's important that you give him attention like that.
I guess he loves you then! Squeaking is normal for piggies. Mine used to chirp like birds at night and at the crack of dawn they'd wake up and start squealing.
lol sounds just like hes hyper my 1yr old does that its nothing to worry about they all have different personalities!
you're his only companion, he loves being with you, and doesn't want to be apart. I wish mine would do that, I've had him two months and he's still pretty freaked out.
No.Nothing is wrong with your guinea pig.I have two guinea pigs and its normal for them to squeak.
he just loves you lots!
Does he lay on his back? This could be a sign of heart problems if he is content with being on his back.
Here is an example from guinealynx of a sow named Marilyn here were her signs.

Marilyn: approx 4-year old sow
Signs: lack of muscle tone, content to lie on her back when held (abnormal for a prey animal), very quiet demeanor both in her cage and being held.
Auscultation: normal
X-ray: enlarged heart View 1 - View 2
Treatment: lotensin 1mg twice daily for 3 days. Her activity level declined slightly, so the dosage was reduced to 0.8mg twice daily. Muscle tone improved, activity level increased, less content to be placed on her back.

It sounds like if he takes naps with you, and is lazy around you he could have heart problems. Once again you need to join guinealynx. Go to that link above and check out the other symptoms for heart problems. You're really starting to worry me, and annoy me by your lack of knowledge on your own animal.
Imagine if your mom decided to have you, and every time you cried, or acted odd she went here for a solution. You need to find out some more information. I'm not being mean, I'm begging you to do something.
Hes happy and really likes you! thats great!
Awww thats so adorable that means he loves you and trusts you and he is happy =]
