Helping a grieving guinea pig.

[Haylezz]

Hello guys! I just lost my guinea pig which was with my other little girl and now she is not eating and really upset. Any ideas what I can do to help her get though this. I have got another 2 but they are boys.
This is the first guinea pig I have lost, so I have no idea
Thank you in advance!

Welcome to the forum!

If your piggie is not eating she really needs a friend. Please read the guide I have linked in it has lots of useful information on how you can help your little girl. Are your piggies in the same room? You could put them side by side (making VERY sure that your boys can't get in with her so she has interaction through the bars with your boys.

I have moved the cage close enough where she can see them but not get to each other. But all she is doing is hiding and won’t move from her bed. And thank you

If she is still not eating you will need to start syringe feeding her. Mushed up pellets will do in an emergency.

Oh no I am so sorry. That is truly awful, it sounds like there may have been something going on to lose two is so close succession. So very sorry.

Yeah I think so. I’m so upset right now. Had them both from babies so they held a special place in my heart.
