Just yesterday evening I re-homed my four babies. After having them for two amazing years, I’m fighting a chronic illness now where I don’t have the energy or the money to give my pigs the life that they deserve. It was probably one of the hardest decisions I have ever made. I sat by their empty cage last night bawling my eyes out. I feel horrible, but I know that they went off to a good home, I just wish things were different. Have any of you had to make a hard decision like this?
I had to let my babies go.

I think you made a very brave decision. I hope, I don't have to face this kind of situation because I know it would break my hear.
But finding a new home where they have a great life is your last gift of love to them.
Take care and cherish the memories of your time together!

So sorry that you had to make such a hard decision. As @Viennese Furbabies has said it is out of love for them that you did this. @Lorcan had to make the same heart rending choice too.

You are amazing for thinking of your piggies first and foremost. Be proud that you have done that. So sorry that you’re going through this but please be kind to yourself as you’re grieving your loss. My heart goes out to you

I have never had to but I'm so sorry you've had to do this. If it helps my two girls were rehomed to me from a lady who also had to give them up but loved them dearly. Every day when I look at my girls I thank that lady for bringing them into my life and for giving them such a great start in life. I'm sure you will be thought of in the same way. Please be kind to yourself you have shown amazing strength

I feel so sorry that you have to face the illness and lose your piggies. Life can be so unfair. I hope for good things coming your way soon.

So sorry that you had to make this decision.
What a brave and loving act to let the piggies go to a new home.
This will feel like a bereavement to you so be gentle with yourself and allow yourself time to grieve.
Look after your own health too.
Holding you in my heart.

If you know that due to reasons you said, , letting go must be so hard,
If gone to a good home,, , will you be allowed to see them or know how they are doing,
