dead

So yesterday my guinea pig died. I thought I’d come here to find out what caused the death because I completely could not understand what has happened and I thought somebody here would know. I found him outside in his run collapsed on the floor. I immediately carried him inside, he was still...

Hello All, I've brought 3 guinea pigs from a local pet store, all little ones, maybe 2 month old. One after another all the 3 have died in similar circumstances with a week's gap between each. The following happened in sequence (D=Day of death) 1) Super healthy, energetic and fully active till...

Gigi was one of my first guinea pigs, he was the last one who passed in 2015 and after he passed we decided to get chickens which didn't work out so in 2019 we adopted the 5 boars we have now :) He was also albino which is why his eyes are red :)

What can cause sudden death in multiple guinea pigs? In less than 12 hours my 2 male guinea pigs went from perfect health to dead? What can cause this? A week ago i also lost my third male and i just assumed it was of old age and didn't think anything to much of why. I also have a female in a...

Hi everyone, My guinea pig has these small black flecks on the lower end of her body that comes off very easily when i run my hand through her and I thought it might just be residue from playing in hay/toys or just some dead skin. She does not seem bothered at all and they are not moving at all...

Hi! I know this is a guinea pig forum, but I really need support. Today I went to check on my hamster (Billy) and found him dead! I just can’t help thinking that I should of done more to help him. He was there when I was sad. He would always listen. He would rarely bite. Today we will be hosting...

Hi Everyone. My name is Amit and i am from India. My uncle gave me a female guinea pig few years ago. At that time she looks so immature but i dont know about her actual age. Time passed and she became our family member. She usually eats everytime she became healthy but didn't grown in size...

Goodnight my Piggy Piggy, Buds bug, Booday, Gorilla. I love you Buddy.🌟🖤

I don’t think I’ve cried as much as I have after losing my baby. His final few minutes with me were spent snuggling with me listening to ‘Somewhere only we know’. When he passed away I didn’t cry. I was just completely numb. The second I closed my bedroom door I just collapsed and started...

You probably know about my guinea pigs struggle and his constant strokes. Today that all ended. He was paralysed and refusing to eat. I did what I could but he couldn’t pull through. I really did love him and he was my everything. 2:07🖤 He peacefully passed away surrounded by the comfort of his...

One of the two guinea pigs died. I wasnt sure if he was dead because when I touched him, he twitched and the other one was humping him. They already did the dominance ritual months ago. He stopped moving, so I think he died right in front of me or just an hour ago because rigor mortis hadnt set...

My pig died unexpectedly during the night because when I woke up I went to check up on her she was lying on the floor stiff. I was shocked, she was only 3 and a half years old I don’t think it’s because of old age. I fed her regularly and I was going to clean her cage today. Her cage was big. I...

My beautiful Peruvian girl, Chanel passed away last night. I found her this morning laid out on top of a snuggle sack with her eyes open. She was only 11 months old and this has come as a huge shock to me, I am completely devastated. She was a perfectly healthy guinea pig. She did have a...

Hi, I am new to the forum but today my guinea pig died :( so I made a coffin out of some cardboard but the hole was only 6-8 inches deep, so there was only 1-2 inches of soil on top of the coffin. I put a rock on top. After reading other guides, I am not sure that I buried it deep enough. What...

Hi everyone, Basically I'm a New Guinea pig owner but I found tonight that one of pigs had died. Literally a few hours ago she was fine, weeking at me whenever I walked in the room. Sorry if this is a bit much info but I picked up and she was cold, but still loose, very floppy. The disturbing...
