oh.... bum. basically.
i can't take them with me. the more i think about it, the more selfish it seems. they have a much higher chance of having happy normal little lives than if i take them with me. i think i just have to be a grown up and pretend they won't miss me. even though i know they will. fluffkin was genuinely depressed when i went on holiday for 3 weeks last year.
i can;t comtemplate having different piggies right now, but hypothetically speaking i guess i'd be redressing the balance if i adopted more once i'd moved. it disgusts me to think like that. it makes them sound disposable.
no, there really isn't anyone! sorry if i sound grumpy it's just everyone keeps asking if there is someone else. there is not. at all. they would have to be surrendered/adopted formally.
at least i've made a decision though. thank you so much for all your thoughts and kind messages everyone. i'll be around for a bit longer, but if i have to move i'll keep you updated.
pray i don't!

as there is 2 i would take them they can cuddle up together, if only 1 then i think it would stress
Hard choice, your an angel for putting the pigs first. Ok, so there is noone in your family or close network that could adopt them. Why not someone here who can keep you posted on how they are, or would that be too painful?
As you have made a decision to rehome perhaps this is the next best thing?

I think you are making the right decision. Big ((hugs)) to you. I hope you don't have to move though :smitten:
You could post a thread on here (in the 'rescue' section), explaining the situation etc. and have someone who could take your pigs if you do need to move? That way you know they will go to a great home. O0

That's a nice idea, at least you would know who they were with and could keep in touch (piggy-cam?!)
I'm sure you've made the right choice - I've been thinking about your post when I can't sleep at night, and wondering what I would do - you're being very brave and strong and doing the right thing for the pigs. Big hugs to you
