Junior Guinea Pig
I'm so sad. Our old lady pig Honey died today. She was 6 years 3 months old. She has been with us since she was about 6 weeks old.
She had been getting slower recently and had lost a bit of weight but was still eating. Yesterday she was very wobbly and was happy to sit in her hay on a heat pad. I hand fed her as she was very slow eating. (I had to hand feed her otherwise her greedy mate Heather would have eaten everything!)
I found her this morning lying on her side quite cold. She even had a piece of hay in her mouth. She looked so peaceful.
I've let my other girls Heather, Princess and Rainbow have a sniff of her just to let them know she has gone. I hope it helps them.
I shall put Heather in with Princess and Rainbow from now on. (They are all happy together as they were only in pairs in hutches at night.)
Here are a few photos of Honey.

She will be buried in our garden underneath the Hawthorn tree with our other much loved guinea pigs that have left us.
Goodbye my beautiful Honey.
