Junior Guinea Pig
Hello!
So I work at a pet store in the US(small, family owned) and we take in surrendered animals, often ones that are from the humane society.
we recently had a guinea pig surrendered to us, from one of my favorite customers who just had a bout of really really bad luck. The pigs cage mate died a while back and then they got a male pig thinking it was a female, and so she hasn’t had a cage mate in a while. She’s about five years old, and she has a stomach tumor. The customer actually used the vet I use per my recommendation , and my vet said it is inoperable, but she doesn’t seem to be in any pain, she does need gas drops sometimes though. ANYWAYS, the advice I need is whether or not I should take on this pig. We don’t feel comfortable selling her because she may not live long and she does need somebody that knows what they’re doing. I would not be able to provide her with a cage mate, and I would only be able to provide her with a 6 sq ft cage because my boys take up so much space. But I am so worried about her going to the wrong home. What does everybody think?
