My guinea pig is LOST in the garden

[Charlotte2000]

I woke up this morning And went to feed my pigs and when I got there the bottom cage door was open so I looked inside and I saw that one pig was missing the whole day I’ve been searching for my guinea pig I can’t find her I’m seeing big clumps of hair but no actual part of the guinea pig or any blood I don’t know what to do please give me some advice

I'm sorry to say it sounds like a fox has carried your pig away.

Clumps of hair does not sound positive unfortunately. Please place some hideys around the garden with some of her favourite foods in. If she has escaped then you may find she wanders back.

BIG HUGS

I am very sorry!

If you are finding large clumps of hairs, then is sadly very likely that your piggy has been carried off by a predator.
Please follow @Lady Kelly 's tips for the slim chance that your baby has escaped alive.

Please bring your remaining piggy indoors as the hutch is clearly not safe and whoever has taken away your girl is highly likely to return for your other one.
Here is a link to tips on what you can do for your remaining girl, as she will be very shocked:

Did you not bolt the door shut? I cant see how a predator could open a door. Unless it was already open or flimsy. Do you live in u.k or somwhere else?

Foxes can break into hutches, i think they can even slide bolts. I keep my outdoor hutch in the shed, to be on the safe side.

I was thinking raccoon if it was america. They have some dexterity. Foxes are

I always put the covers down on my hutch so the bolts are not accessible. Has your hutch got covers? Sorry to hear you have lost your piggy

I’m so sorry but as previous posts suggest, it is highly likely that your girl has been carried away by a predator Could there be a chance that you didn’t close the hutch door properly? If you’re definitely sure that you did, please bring your remaining pig(s) indoors as the hutch is obviously not safe. Where are you located? xx
