They have just got two guinea pig's maybe because I have some but they bought them round one looks pregnant and the others a boy! So if not she will be. They had no food,bedding,waterbottle or hay. They have other animals
1 rat
2 dog's (they got rid of the third) that howl all night when they go out
1 cat (after getting rid of two plus three kittens)
2 rabbits (ones pregnant and last time they didn't seperate so they all died)
2 syrian hamsters (male and female)
2 russian hamsters

I gave them food a spare bottle hay veggies bedding but i feel so sorry for them i know i go overboard with spoiling mine but they didn't even have food!
 
:(. Poor piggies. I don't understand why some people get animals when they don't know how to look after them properly mallethead.
Wishing them the best. Hopefully your neighbours will do some research on them.

Personally I'd tip them off to the RSPCA or if you know them invite them round to see your piggies and something might just click in their heads about how to keep them properly.
 
I've just told them the minimum veggies they have to feed them and she don't look too happy about the cost and she didn't know anything not to feed them and they will be living in the 7yr olds bedroom. They've been picking them up since they got them too poor thing's. They got them off a breeder who apparently had 5 adult's to a hutch or cage! a breeder in march
 
I have told the rspca before because they keep leaving the dogs out all night and they cry and it's so sad. I offer to help the mother is pregnant and had a stillbirth last year so i dont want to cause stress but i dont know why she lets the kid's get what they want.
 
grrrrr dont some people just make you blooming angry grrrr

Maybe you can just keep checking on them...all of them...and maybe see if she will check out the forum maybe?

Its a bit like mallethead with some people it just doesnt hit home what they need to do grrrrrr
 
Wouldnt of been so bad if they were both girls which is what i thought they were but the daughter tried putting them with mine as my cage is open I tried explaing about catching the flu so she'd understand about possible infections and I'm pretty sure one of mine is in heat shes been rumble strutting and arching when you stroke her and one of my others was last week so thats all i need. She is getting a c and c cage tho so thats good and ive offered to make some tents and cuddle cups e.t.c but they'll need the space if they mate and I'm pretty bad at sexing them so they don't want to ask me lol
 
I will help them all I can I don't believe they don't intentionally want to harm them or put them at risk it is just ignorance and some people don't want to learn but I will do my best to make them,that said the 15yr old turned up here last night drunk with police trying to see where her mum is!
 
I think it's great you want to help them, and the only thing you can do really is try to give them information. I hope that something sinks in and they become better pet owners . . .
 
WoW! Some people never cease to amaze me.

I think you're doing a great job trying to help these piggies and I hope it pays off! Some people just think about themselves/children rather than the welfare of the animals they're getting and do zero research.

It took us months to decide to get our piggies and I immediately joined this forum to get any help I could.

I know it's important to have pets and it's great that children have pets too but a little thought and responsibility about the care those pets receive is important too.

Best of luck and I sincerely hope you can convince your neighbour to take better care of all of these animals (but especially the piggies of course!).
 
if they were my neighbours thats would really p*** me off think i would be tempted to jump over the fench and pinch them and fiddle with the lock on the door to make it look like they have escaped after one of the children didnt shut the hutch up rightrolleyesrolleyesrolleyesrolleyes
 
They are indoors but If i didn't have an open cage i'd of brought her dog's in when they went on hoilday someone was feeding them but leaving them out all night they cried and cried i finally caught the person who was feeding them and told him to put them in at night it's too cold for them they did after that. They are nice enough people they just don't think about it i don't think she will have them for long i don't think she know's how they breed she will be over run and my boyfriend won't let me have more as i might have to split mine up yet but i'll do my best to find home's if i need to.
 
:( So so sad, hope the neighbours do some research soon! I also wish people would do their research before getting pets!
 
My heart goes out to you about the barking dogs. We had a similar problem about 15 years ago and it still makes me stressed to think about it.
 
The barking bother's my OH but i hate the crying. I'm taking her sow to my friend's next week as i think she's already pregnant but my mate will know for sure.
 
They've seperated them as the lttle girl only like's the little baby boy one (who i think looks alot less than 5 weeks old) and the girl looks older than three months so they are on their own in seperate rooms. I said to her mum you can't kee them seperate they will get depressed and she said her daughter won't listen and i said tell her your getting rid of them if she don't put them back together and she said that her daughter wouldn't care so i said if she don't care then she shouldn't of got them in the first bloody place

If they are a boy and girl then isn't it better they are apart anyway? Although I agree they need a friend. Perhaps if she is pregnant they could keep a girl to go with the mum and a boy to go with the Dad?

Will she not hand them over to a rescue for rehoming?
 
I did suggest doing that with the babie's if she is pregnant which i think she is else i wouldn't tell her to put them back together whe she get's sick of them she will give them away like with her dog and cat's. but she then got another cat the dog's got flea's too. It make's me feel bad getting mine now cos she only got them cos i did she's supposed to be ordering the stuff to make a c and c next week but they won't do everything they need for them and if she struggle's i would take them but my OH will moan and he loves guinea's but i've already got to seperate mine as one get's bullied so i'll have 2 2 x4 c and c cages stacked if i have to take her's too one of my kids will have to have the shed!
 
Whereabouts are you? If she does get bored and lets you take them, a rescue might help rehome them. I would help - I'm on the Norfolk / Suffolk border but my partner is near Huntingdon, Cambs, so I can travel further afield if needed
 
I'm in peterborough and i will definately let you know if and when she does get bored of them if i have to i will report them anyway but i would rather offer to take them as i have to live next door she just let's the kid's rule her she's otherwise a niceperson she just don't stand up to her kid's
 
I'd just make sure they know to coem to you no matter what when it comes to the guinea pigs, health, advice, so on. Just make sure they know. x
 
malletheadmalletheadI would definately report this family to the RSPCA. They have far too many animals and aren't looking after them to suit their welfare needs.
 
I never know why they surprise me! They have just got a new rabbit (because the mum wanted the hutch as it was all free) she tried joining the hutches together and the doe's fought so that didnt work. The other day i went round andthere new cat was in the hutch with the rabbit and today the possibly pregnant guinea pig is in the hutch with the rabbit and I'm guessing here but i think they are feeding them rabbit food as i know they have a big sack of it and doubt they've bought anymore. i told her she has to move the guinea pig.
