Sadly I am now left with only one piggy:( my old friend fluffy had to go to sleep forever a few weeks ago and as I posted last year I lost Browny too. It's been a hard year as you can imagine.
I feel sorry for Tina who is now left on her own, she's always been so used to being with others and is now in a massive cage on her own. If you look through my pics she is my black longhaired piggy and I got her a long time after Fluff and Browny so she's younger and has plenty of life left in her.
I don't want to get another pig but was wondering if anyone thought it would be a good idea to foster to give Tina some company now and again? I live in Sheffield x

This is a great idea, Have a look at the forums rescue locator, it would be worth giving your nearest one a call, you never know... x

I have moved your thread for you.

I am very sorry for your loss. You are welcome to post a tribute to Fluffy in our Rainbow Bridge section any time it feels right for you

You might consider approaching Barnsley Animal Rescue Charity (BARC); they operate on a system of fosterers and are your closest good guinea pig rescue that does so.

Cavy Corner in Doncaster is a sanctuary. They don't foster out, but you could have a chat with them re. a bonded companion that reverts to them after the death of your boy.

Both rescues have also got a facebook page:

I think fostering is a good idea. I'm so sorry for your loss!
Good luck.
 
Tina is second on the left and the only one left now, Fluffy is on the left,browny is second right and whitey is right, bless them all x
 
What a lovely group.

I'm looking forward to hearing how Tina get on and about you fostering .
