2 Girls Piggies Need Help.

[David Piggie Lover]

Some of you may know me and my stories of 3 piggies.
Where we live deep in Lancashire a little village we known as piggie people.
It's been brought to our attention of 2 female piggies that are not wanted. I'm gathering information as is @Hoppity.K
we know a bit but now the mother of the children has got a dog and the piggies and surplus.
I've heard possibility being pts as a great idea. This has shocked us big time.
What I know they are 8 months and live together once loved not now and really need our help.
Pls super forum guys help me advise me. I'm prepared to collect the piggies and if needed take them to a new happy home. ASAP.

What you are considering doing is lovely Dave & Kath but do you have room for any more piggies and room in your heart for more (not to mention your bank balance)? If not then to save them from pts you could take them to a good rescue so that they can be found a loving home. Putting such young piggies pts and even considering it is appalling! And then thinking it a great idea .... well I can think of words I would like to say about people like that but won't as this is a family friendly forum!

 

[arcticfox34]

Wow, this makes me so sad. Poor piggies! If they've decided their piggies are disposable, they should do the decent thing and surrender them to a charity.

 

[KathT]

I would have them but I live in deepest, darkest Nottingham - which is quite a way from Lancashire. I don’t think any self respecting vet would put them to sleep if they are that young. As Betsy said a good rescue would take them if you don’t have room. If you can save them that would be great!

 

[HeatherW]

I can help with a piggy train if needed.

As a note, would any vet put a healthy animal down on an owner's whim because they're simply not wanted?

 

[Betsy]

@David Pet Lover and @Hoppity.K you a lovely people with big hearts! Forgot to mention that in my previous post!

 

[David Piggie Lover]

Thanks guys. I'm willing to look after them until someone would be happy to give them a forever home. I also think no vet would pts two piggies that are not wanted.
I'm hopin to find out more soon.
How some people are its very upsetting.

 

[Lady Kelly]

Would any rescues have space for them David where you could take them?

 

[Lady Kelly]

@NevillesNest has had quite a few leave recently unless there are piggies already waiting on a space to become available

 

[Flutterby]

Bless them! You are doing a wonderful thing! I can help out with temporary accommodation or transport if needed x

 

[David Piggie Lover]

it's rewarding when you find on this forum guninue people who will help. Thanks. x. I'm tryin to gather more info

 

[Merab]

@David Pet Lover & @Hoppity.K you have such big hearts.
I wish I was able to help but I’m too far away in Wiltshire. I’m probably not alone among forum members wishing I could give them a home.
A rescue would be a good solution

 

[VickiA]

@David Pet Lover and @Hoppity.K your hearts are so in the right place. Please use the rescue locator Recommended Guinea Pig Rescues to find your nearest approved rescues and see if they can help by taking them in.

 

[Charlpigs]

Whereabouts in Lancashire? I live near Preston and if needed would gladly take these girls on but I agree that checking rescues is a good idea

 

[artcasper]

Aww hope it works out! Awful situation.. glad you are trying to help x

South East side(?) - geography isn’t my strong point! Bingham way on.

That’s definitely not too far then, I’ll keep checking this thread for any updates

 

[Watchman]

Pity I'm in lincolnshire I could take them in with my herd until a decent forever home could be found. I could always ask cavy corner for help.

 

[Claire W]

Bless you both for trying to help. I wish I could take them. But like everyone else has said, if nobody can help, I’m sure a rescue would take them in xx

 

[David Piggie Lover]

Pls do.
I wish I didn't work so much and I could sort this soon as possible. Hope to see the piggies weekend. Dave

 

[Watchman]

Oh hell with it my parents will kill me but if they need a temporary foster home and everything else doesnt work out and we can organise a piggy train ill give them a loving home till a new permanent home can be found.

 

[David Piggie Lover]

I'm same pal. I've no problem lookin after them if need be.
I have 3 piggies at the moment and 2 are poorly. Chloe is strugglin to put weight on and Cocoa mouth is poor. We trying to fix them best we can.
Bad timing springs to mind but I not see any piggie suffer or be mistreated.

 

[Watchman]

Exactly the same I would take every piggie home if I could.

 

[YvonneBlue]

Sadly i wouldn't be able to take them as i don't have any more space but i would be happy to help with transporting them to a new home if needed (I am in Manchester).

 

[Charlpigs]

Pls do.

I would be more than happy to give them a forever home, providing that they bond well with my 3 girls. It’s worth a try, especially since it’s less than an hour’s drive for me and they’re very close in age to my girls

So glad there are people like you willing to help. People who see any pet as disposable are awful. It breaks my heart people are so cruel. I've taken on people's unwanted piggies. I could never give any of my pets away, they are my family.x

When Velvet had her 3 babies 2 years ago (Christian, Dennis and Meg) I was going to let my friend's daughter have the boys but I didn't think she would look after them properly (she was 19 at the time and I had known her for 14 years) and so I kept them all. I was right too. A few weeks later Hannah stopped asking after them. They would have been more pets just lonely and forgotten at the bottom of the garden given food only when thought about and never cleaned out. Even my OH who was all for giving them away or putting them in a rescue said I was to keep them as he knew I would look after properly. For once in my life I did as I was told.

Bless piggies. . .
