My mum lost one of my guinea pigs in the garden about 2 hours and we have been looking for it ever since and can't find him anywhere. He is only 4 weeks old. The garden is so overgrown its hard to see such a lil pig. I don't know what to do anymore does anyone have any suggestions?
 
I have the mum dad and brother all living in cages indoors. I put dad and brother in the run on the lawn to try and get him to come see him but it didn't work. They are now both back inside because its beggining to get dark and cold. I'm so worried i won't find him :'(
 
If you have a cardboard box, pop that on the lawn with some hay and dried food in it ... piggies hate being exposed and hopefully he or she will find comfort in that.

Do you have a big garden? Are there any areas that it could wander to e.g. under fence, sheds etc?

Years ago my husband opened the hutch door and one of my baby piggies fell out. He didn't notice but hours later I went out into the back garden and straightaway noticed something moving under the hutch. Yes, it was the baby. He hadn't gone far ... frozen with fear! Checkout nearby areas to where he was last seen ... I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!
 
Yep leave some food out and maybe leave a light on for pig. I'm sure he can't be far away. I really hope you find him you must be devestated. Big hugs. x
 
We saw him run into a hedge and followed right away but couldn't see him because there is ivy all on the floor and he must have jst run sraight through into the bush. We have a big garden with neibours either side and a field out the back. He could easily get under a fence out of the garden. Also there is a gap big enough under the shed that he could get under. Where ever he is I'm sure he will have managed to find a comfy sheltered spot. When we had our pigs outside if they ever got out they would stay near their hutch but because he has an indoor cage he won't be able to do this so is more likely to wonder.
 
I hope you find him. Can you bring another of your pigs out now and rustle a food bag to get him wheeking, the baby may come when he hears another piggy?
 
Ive tried that as his brother will wheek if not with another pig. Laptops running out of battery so i might not be able to post again till i find him coz i dnt wanna go inside till i do. Its guna be a long night....
 
Thanks for your help everyone ill update you in the morning. I have put a wooden hut with some hay out for him, just hope he goes in it.
 
Thinking of you I do hope you find him keeping my fingers crossed for you love.
 
Its too dark now i can't see a thing ill just have to try again in the morning. He wouldn't die of cold in the night would he? :'(
 
Not sure where in the country you are hunny its not that cold at night now try not to worry. I am sure he will find somewhere snug. My sister in laws piggie escaped once and she was sat on the step next morning waiting for her veggies.
 
really hoping you find him safe and sound :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: sending hugs and healing vibes your way :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: really feel for you and hope all turns out well for you and the little one O0
 
Aw - I am so sorry, I have just read this. I hope you find him! Hopefully he's snuggled in somewhere and will come home once he's starving. :( Let us know how you get on.
 
Just got home form work and my mum had found him at about 9:00 very pleased and grateful that she did although she did put him in mums cage instead of dad and brother, just hope shes not pregnant now but i doubt it. He seems to have lost weight so i will weigh him in the morning but he can't of much as he was gone for 24hrs and had unlimited grass. When i was looking for him last night i found a hedgehog in the garden, could he have caught fleas or sumthing off it?
 
so glad the little adventurer has come home, :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: bet he had a tale to tell his family ;D ;D ;D bet he thought he was getting a reward being put in with the girls :o :o :o another tale to tell dad ;D ;D ;D am so happy for you and your little boy ;) ;) ;) hugs and healing vibes :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: and hoping he stays home from now on O0
