Thanks for reaching out about your guinea pig. Being lethargic is a signs of being ill, so a veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Providing some heat support could give some comfort but does not replace the need for a veterinary visit. Continue to offer food and water through a syringe. Monitor fecal production and urination. Good luck.
