I need honest advice here please!

What would you do?

I am struggling at the times at the moment with being sad, the boyf starts his new job in Norwich on Monday and he is looking to house share as he can't afford to keep driving 2 hours everyday.

I am trying to apply for jobs but at the moment nothing seems to be happening, so I could be stuck here for ages!
I have been made part time now so much less pay
I still have to pay rent
I can drive but have no car

So my two options are:

Have Bounty neutered, because he loves attention but is crazy and difficult to handle! He is aggressive to males so he may like a ladyfriend or two!
This would mean more pigs though and I don't know if I would have enough finance if problems were to arise so that would be rehoming a few pigs - Loki, Sky and Radley.

This isn't something I am thinking lightly though, its so hard!

The other option would just to be leave Bounty as he is, but then I still may have to rehome somebody as I could be stuck here at my boyf's parents for ages and again as I am part time what if suddenly they all need the vets?

I just don't know what to do, I want whats best for them and I also want to do what would be best for me to, I want it to be something I wont regret, but something I'd look back on and think I did the right thing.

BTW Lentil and Jake would never be rehomed, as Jake is my little doggy. Bounty also wouldn't be rehomed as he is mental and I'd feel sorry for anybody who would have him :x

I would say that it would be best to leave things as they are at the moment. Because if money is tight and your piggy has complecations due to his castration it could make a tight situation worse! (my piggy cost me just over £270 due to his complecations, just dont tell the OH!) You never know a job may just be round the corner and things may be a bit better in a few months time, I'm sure Bounty wouldnt mind waiting a bit longer. Couldnt you put his cage closer to the other piggys so that he could have a bit of company that way? I would say hold on a bit longer as some times good things happen when you least expect them!

I would certainly not neuter - that can quickly get expensive once you run into complications. Can you put some money away each week for vet cost if and when they happen so it is not such a hard blow on your general budget?

 

[Hanwombat]

Yeah I do put a little away each way.
Argh its Loki I worry about the most, I worry i don't give him enough attention and he could do being somewhere where he'd get loads of attention.

I would sit tight too, obviously if you suddenly had a big vet bill then that may mean rehoming, but as things stand you may find in a few months time you may be in a better job in Norwich with more money!
