Hi guys.....

Today i sadly lost one of my girls (Liberty) and now have 2 girls left.
One of my piggy's seems her usual self(or near enough) but the eldest of the pair left seems extremely depressed and hasn't really moved much or eaten anything (Something extremely out of character as she LOVES her food). They have lived together all their lives. I understand she is depressed... like i am.. i just want to help her along any way i can especially as she is an oldish piggy?

Thank you for any advice you can give

Jenny (Honor and Harmony the piggy's)
 
Sorry to hear of your loss. I'm not sure what to suggest except making everything as interesting as possible. Putting food in boxes, adding interesting items to the cage/run. If you have something that smells like your deceased piggie it may be worth placing this into the cage to help ease her grief a little.

Sorry i cannot be of much help.

x.
