I was away on a trip and some of my family members were taking care of my 5 precious pigs. I was continuously told they were doing fine by the person mainly taking care of them, but someone else went to check on them while I was on my way home and 3 of them were dead and they had no food or hay and hardly any water. When I got back, Turtle, one of the two left, was obviously very sick. It was late so I wasn't able to get her to the vet and she passed overnight. I'm going to miss them all so much and I really don't know how to express how much I cared about them and how much I loved them in this post, but I'm sure you fellow piggy owners will understand that it's not 'just a guinea pig'. They are such a part of our lives and most people don't get that losing a guinea pig can be just as bad as losing a human. Sunny was one of my two very first guinea pigs, and this is my first time ever losing any guinea pigs. Tui, the black brown and white one you see in the last picture, was my other first guinea pig and the only one I have left. ( I'll get her a friend soon so she doesn't get lonely) I will never forget any of them, and I'm so sad their lives were cut short. Sunny, the oldest, was only 2.5, Daizy was around 2, Turtle was around 1.5, and Blue wasn't even 1 yet. The pictures are of the passed guinea pigs- Sunny is the tan and white one, Daizy is the brown abyssinian, Blue is the baby skinny pig, and Turtle is the agouti with crazy hair.

I’m so sorry to hear about your precious babies, thinking of you and sending big hug’s
 
So very sorry to read this.
Holding you in my heart ♥️
Be gentle with yourself as you grieve your losses.
 
I’m so very sorry you have lost four of your precious piggies. That’s so sad. They will all be together forever over the bridge. Take care ❤️
 
Sorry for your losses. To lose so many over a short time must be very painful, so my thoughts are with you. Sleep tight little ones x
 
I am so sorry you have come home to such a sad situation, sending hugs. Does the person who was responsible for them while you were away have anything to say about what happened? It’s so sad x
Sleep tight little piggies 🌈
 
Thanks for your support. No, the person who was taking care of them keeps claiming they were giving them water and feeding them and everything every day, but if that were true then they would've known that they were dead before the person that found them did. Never again is that person taking care of any of my pets while I'm gone.
 
That’s awful. I can’t imagine how you are feeling. Sending you a hug 🤗

So sorry for you, obviously that person should never be trusted with anyones pets again :hug:
 
I am so sorry for your losses. What an awful thing to come home to, your beautiful babies being so badly let down by someone you trusted. It is so sad how some people simply don't care. Sending hugs x
 
I am so sorry that you have been so badly let down and that you have lost your babies as a result. Sleep tight, little ones x
 
I'm so sorry... what an awful thing to have happen! Many gentle ((HUGS)) to you.
 
Thanks for your support everyone. This is a hard time and it means a lot to me. I wanted to update you on the last piggy in case any of you were wondering. We were able to get Tui (the last pig) to a vet this morning. He's very well known for his great work with guinea pigs in this area, and he said she seems to be healthy other than the fact that she's very skinny. This is very relieving and I'm so glad she's going to be okay. I'll miss the others with all my heart and think about them every day, but the fact that Tui made it makes me feel a little better.
 
What an awful situation, I cannot imagine how it felt to come home to that. :(
Sending big hugs :hug:
