lone piggy

Hi everyone, So I’ve recently been back and forth to the vets with my last girl, Penelope. Believe she has a heart issue and she is currently on Vetmedin and going to start benazapril too. My other two girls passed away in January a week apart from each other. Minnie was housed with Penelope...

Hello, I am looking for advice please. Our guinea pig Bertie is currently living alone after his brother unexpectedly passed away 3 weeks ago. Whilst he seems very happy and content at the moment, we would like to get him a new friend. The problem is that this isn't our first rodeo and we...

After 6 years of looking after them both, one of my guinea pigs died yesterday morning. I still havent really processed it and I just have a general awful feeling of loss but I really dont know what I can do for my remaining piggie, Panda. He's also 6 years old and quite aggressive (it took...

So one of my piggies has recently passed away as it come a shock for us and especially to my other guinea pig as it was so sudden. One of my guinea pig is now currently on her own and has no cage mate and it feels so odd not hearing them squeak together ): my current guinea pig is her usual...

hello. yesterday i unfortunately lost one of my guinea pigs. the other is doing ok, he seems much more reserved but is still eating and drinking well so i am not too concerned however this is the first time i’ve had guinea pigs so i’ve never dealt with taking care of a pig after a loss of their...

Hi I have a2.5 year old sow who lost her friend nearly 4 weeks ago. She struggles with her sight and has a permanent head tilt. She isn’t that steady on herfeet but is full of character. She is eating as normal, seems more active since her friend died and seems happy (except she bites on the...

I have a 5-6 month old female guinea pig. I got her from a woman with really young children because she was afraid they were handling her too roughly. I had her alone for a while, until I could find her a friend, which I have had with her for about two days so far, they seem to like each other...

Hi all, I'm new to this forum. I have 2 boars who we adopted a little over a year ago and are now 2 years old. I noticed Munchkin, the more dominant boar, had slightly gungy eyes so for a week I was wiping them with cooled boiled water. They didn't seem infected but didn't improve and he didn't...

Hi all, I was looking for some advice on companionship for my mostly blind boar, Teddy. He's about a year and a half old, and I was told by the RSPCA shelter I rescued him from that he didn't like living with other Guinea Pigs; he was alone because they stressed him out due to him being unable...

Hi, I am really devastated as one of my Guinea pigs died last night she was sister to my surviving piggy. I love them so much and I am incredibly worried about my lone Guinea pig (Elsa) and how she will cope. I have had Guinea pigs before but when one of the sister died that time they were both...

Hello I am new here but I had two Guinea pigs... Ozzy & Lemmy unfortunately today I found Lemmy dead! The strangest thing is he had no hands or feet! Completely gone! And parts of his face was missing too! So upsetting! And I havnt had these pair long Any ideas what could have happened? Is it...

Today I had to say goodbye to my beautiful rescue piggle Mimbles. She had lumps on her, was losing her fur and her heartbeat was very slow. Absolutely heartbreaking to see but I know my baby isn't in pain now. Now my worries lie with her best friend Pip who is now alone. She has a fleece that...

Hey guys,I wasn't sure where to post this one so I'm going with daily care! I'm a Mum to a solo pig, Sunny. Yep, that's right, I have one boar. I know it's ideal to keep two pigs or more for company, and I'll admit I was worried as to how he would get on by himself. My intention is to wait...

I got a piggy from petsmart yesterday and sure seemed aclimated to people and she really is surprisingly unafraid and curious towards me and my hubby. Tonight before bed time she went wild in her cage running and hopping all over in it. I don't know if she was afraid or what frightened her. Did...
