Hi everyone, I've never posted on here before, but I would really appresiate your help on this matter, if you can give any!
Basically I took my guinea pig out on the front lawn on a harness and he was having such fun, but managed to squeeze out of it and I wasnt fast enough to catch him.
We have a huge low growing conifer tree out the front, perfect little guinea heaven but there was no way I could get in to catch him.
He kept poping out to nibble grass but wouldnt come up to me, I've recently rescued him so he is so nervous and doesnt know me so well.
My brother got under the tree and waiting til he came close, I told him not to scare him and only to try and get him if he was sure he could, but instead my brother scared the poor thing and we havnt seen him since!
This was over 4 days ago! I've left his cage out and food out and he hasnt been anywhere near it. There are no foxs round by mine because the dogs keep them away and no birds of prey because there are lots of crows so I'm at least a bit hopeful, my parents have said thay have heard something moving in a bush out the front, but I'm not so hopeful anymore!
I was just wondering if anyone else has any other ideas I could try to get him back, I know he is **** dead or gone by now but I need to keep trying!
Someone suggested putting down straw that belongs to female guineas since the scent might draw him out, would this work?
Thanks for all your help guys, I just miss the little guy so much.
