I'm so sorry to hear this and I know exactly what you are going through:(

My guinea pig I had five years ago died in exactly the same way I came out to find the ferret walking away from the cage/run it had burrowed in somehow and killed it:(

I have always since then had indoor guineas now because of that:(

From this time onwards the rest of my piggies will not be back outside, I can not guarantee their safety out there after this. They were only out there in the first place because of the Landlords rules, but after this he has let me put them inside and even if he wouldn't allow it, I would be finding somewhere else to live before being forced to put them back outside.
 
I love all my Guinea Pigs more than life itself, I woke up this morning in complete distress and it seemed like it didn't happen, but I know it did. I still have the girls feed bowl full of food from yesterday, I know it sounds silly but I can't bring myself to empty it.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss and completely understand how you're feeling as I lost 3 of my pigs in a similar way (i've posted about Marble under a seperate thread). RIP poor piggies hope you are running free over the rainbow bridge x
 
oh my god that is tragic, i am so sorry, to lose one is bad enough but two is totally devastating, so so sorry, rip little girls x
 
I'm so very sorry for your loss. You must be devestated. RIP beautiful little ones - Tinsel and Hedgehog. xx

I know how you feel when we lost our first hamster (a year ago yesterday) we couldn't clean her cage out for a week. Just take yout time and do it when you are ready.
 
So very sorry to hear about your loss...........it is so heart breaking when you do everything you can to protect them from all types of dangers!
 
I am really sorry for your loss. :(

It does make me veyr angry that people either let their ferrets run free, or allow them to escape. grrrr

I own both ferrets and guinea pigs. But i know that the changes i have made to their accomodations over the years prevents problems...i wish that the people that owned that ferret were more responsible!
 
I'm so, so sorry for your terrible loss! I can't even imagine how you must feel!

Not silly at all. Grief is a very personal thing and there's nowt silly about how you choose to grieve. xxxxxx
 
So sorry to hear about your piggys.

I hope the ferret is caught soon.

RIP girls and popcorn free at rainbow bridge with all your friends. x x x x
 
How awful and sad 8... I am so very sorry for your loss :( Sleep peacefully girls. Gone but never forgotten xx
 
Thats awful, I'm so sorry. I cant imagine how terrible it must have been for you. hugs.
 
Sorry!

I am so sorry! It is awful when a loved one dies. That ferret is nasty! So sorry for your loss...8...
 
God thats awful! What a horendous thing to happen! My heart goes out to you and I hope you find a way to catch the little responsible!
 
Know just how you feel as a fox got my beloved Buffy last August, devastating. Thinking of you
 
It is very, very horrible but I wouldn't class a ferret as a pest, free roaming? Do you mean it's wild or someones let it go? It should be caught and moved, call the RSPCA, explain they are endangeouring your animals and ask for it to be caught and taken somewhere else. No need for another life to be lost. I feel for you though, I would think the same (what must they have gone through) Guinea pigs seem to be very expressive and I'm surprised they weren't heard :(:(

There is a lot of land at the back of my house, there are game keepers etc and so I am assuming the ferret belonged to one of them. There are also ferret breeders around here, so one of them could have escaped. I caught the ferret, so he is not able to carry on his killing spree. I don't know why I didn't hear anything and it kills me inside that I didn't because I might have been able to save them. This isn't the first time a ferret has tried to kill my Guinea Pigs, the last times I caught a ferret with it's jaws locked around my piggy's head. I caused cuts to my hands prying it's teeth of his head. My Guinea Pigs are no longer outside, I will not see any more harm come to them from a carnivore roaming around unattended.

I'm hoping where ever they are, that my two girls are in a better place. Lots of grass, popcorning and piggy friends to play with. I'm going to miss them forever.


Thanks for the kind messages, the people on this forum are wonderful :)
