Hi all I can unfortunately not put off holidays this year I got away with it during my first 18 months of becoming a guinea parent. However I have Cookie who lives alone side by side Rusty & Rugrat (Merrypigs foster boys) and Willow and Marcus (adopted from the wonderful Merrypigs) ideally Cookie needs to be looked after with his neighbours Willow and Marcus but I think three is a bit much much for the people who are having them, I think they would if there was no other solution but my alternative is to ask my good friend to have Cookie but would this affect him too much emotionally? Hate the thought of leaving any of them to be honest I'm feeling quite anxious about it the closer it gets 😥
 
Personally I would keep them as they are ie as a pair & a single in one place. I think the separation for a solo pig would be felt very hard over 10 days.
 
I’d say best to have them together - the change in scenery, atmosphere might be unsettling
I’m sure the people looking after the pair would be ok to have Cookie ….
you want to do what’s right for them and you don’t want to worry when you’re away
 
Could you get a pet sitter to pop in and check on the three of them in your home?
