I always knew it was coming and I made a point of not naming the two boys but they're eight weeks now and someone has offered to take them. It's like they know they're going and keep wheeking at ever opportunity, I feel like such a bad mum 8...
On the other hand the lady thats taking them sounds nice on the phone, shes a first time guinea pig owner so I said I'd have a little chat with her about some do's and don'ts and obviously tell her to join the forum :^- I know it helped me!


So bye bye "Lucky" and "Junior"

ahh bless don't be sad they have a new home and hopefully the lady will keep you posted. they are such sweeties
 
It must be really sad to see them go! But you've given them a super start and they'll be going to good home, I'm sure! :)
 
Awww.... they are lovely. You've given them a great start in life. Must be ever so hard to let them go.
 
its the same with rescuing people often ask me how i can part with the guineas that come in,i always say its not easy espec when you have a close bond with them,but knowing that they are going to a new loving forever home makes it so worth it..

Good luck and ask the lady before you rehome them for her contact details and if she will keep intouch with you,and also state if she ever finds herself in a position where she cant keep them that she MUST bring them back to you or get in-contact with you so you can check out there new other home so that you are happy...:):):)
 
My empathy

As a relatively new foster mum, my heart goes out to you. My first babies were a pair and solo, after about a week it became clear that they wanted to be together so I tried them out. It was like they had always been a trio and were re-homed as such.
With Sooty and Crawford (now Sweep), I managed not to get too attached but with Spike, I felt like you do, a betrayal. I got so attached (even though I knew I couldnt keep him) that I drove up to just outside Ayre to be sure he would be happy in his new home. Having met his new mum and dad, seen the way he settled in and instantly adopted a hand reared baby, I returned home late but happy.
I still think of him and want to call one of mine Spike as his character is VERY similar.

It does get better, even if it didn't, I wouldn't stop fostering.
 
Thanks for all the empathy guys :)
I feel like they're both giving me accusing stares from across the room! :(
My only worry is that this lady has children (I dont know how old) so I hope they dont turn out to be a temporary play thing. I will say to her to get in touch with me though if things dont work out so i can find another home.

Id love to foster too :) It would be great to see so many happy and healthy pigs sent on their way but the feeling of letting them go is sad. I wonder if theres anywhere in Ireland that does fostering?
 
Aw what lovely babies, I'm not surprisied you're sad to see them go.

I'm sure their new home will be great, though, and the lady will hopefully love them as much as you do x
