how to help a guinea pig cope with the death of their cagemate ?

[WheekWheekPigge]

One of my guinea pigs died of an inexpected death (rip Momo <33) an I want to know how to help the other cagemate(nibbles) cope ! A year ago one of my other guinea pigs died and nibbles just lost a bunch of weight(we took him to the vet and stuff ! ) so how can I help them with that ?

Hi!

I am very sorry for your loss! You are welcome to post a tribute to Momo in our Rainbow Bridge section if and at any time it feels for you.

Please take the time to read this guide here. It talks you through what you can do in the immediate aftermath and in the longer term for a bereaved guinea pig. It also talks you through what you need to look out for and where you can best find a new friend of Nibble's liking.

So sorry for your loss.
As @Wiebke said - the guide is very helpful.
I think it's wonderful that you are thinking about Nibbles' needs while you are grieving yourself.
