well guys I'm very struggling look after my guinea pigs because I just want jack and if i cant have jack back then my 7 female guinea pigs cant have me either. So going to make a brave decision to put them up for adoption. Its just because i don't want them hurt by mood swings so I'm doing this for my little piggy.
goodbye little babies i love you always
lots of love from mummy
 
Aww bless you :( I hope you don't have to put all of them up for adoption ? Could you not keep two or three ? You will be very upset with no guinea pigs. I'm always here if you need a chat! Chin up, what happened to Jack was very unfortunate and you are not to blame. But he is in a better place now with all the other special piggies and he isn't in pain. He will be in veggie galore popcorning like mad up there ❤❤

Keep thinking good thoughts don't focus on the bad ones chick. It will take time to get over but you will get there.

Lots of love and guinea pig kisses from me, Mo, Noodle and Hudson x

I just want jack no other piggie
 
They won't think that they will just be wondering why mammies sad don't worry :( you'll be okay it takes time to get over a loss and if that means putting your pigs up for adoption then do that. There's always time to adopt new ones. If you feel like you need time to yourself you should do it, you know best what you need. I hope you have support and help at home to get you through this ❤

thank you
 
If it's what you feel you need to do, then make sure they go somewhere safe, like a good rescue with a no-kill policy. That said, my advice would be not to make any rash decisions while in the acute phase of grieving. You may end up making an emotional decision that you regret later on and can't undo. I would give it at least a few months because, when grief is acute, how you feel right now may not be how you feel a month from now. ((HUGS)) to you.
 
I am very sorry that you have come to that conclusion.

Have you spoken to a free pet bereavement line before you do something that you may come to rue really badly in years to come? They will listen to you and also help you develop strategies on how to cope with Jack's loss.
Or haven't you got somebody who can look after your girls while you are feeling so out of control and obviously very down right now, but where you can take control back once your are feeling more like yourself again? They have each other for company at yours, but if you surrender them to a rescue, they will be inevitably split up.

I had to give up piggies of mine, and found that I had to go through the full grieving process over that, even if in the case of Caron I could still speak to her on the phone and did visit her from time to time as she was with friends of mine. Caron had ended up being bullies bullied by the Tribe, but didn't get on with any of my other piggies.
It is even worse when you never hear from your girls again. I still rue to this day (well over a decade later) that I was forced to surrender my shop piggy surprise pregnancy babies as they coincided with my MIL's stroke and the logistics of having to rush up to Wales on short or no notice all the time just didn't work out. I could fit a cage with two piggies into the car, but not for four piggies. I have never heard from them again, but to this day I regularly wonder how they have fared and how long they have lived. I have found it easier to make peace with myself over a piggy that died in or after an operation (and I have had several of them) than over the piggies that I had to give away.
