Spending time with piggies

[Princess and angel]

Hi everyone!





I’m currently in the middle of exams and getting ready for university, so things have been really busy lately. Because of that, I haven’t been able to spend as much time with my guinea pigs as I usually do. Right now, I’m with them for about 2 hours a day. I know that’s not ideal, and I feel a bit guilty about it, but I’m doing my best while juggling a lot of studying and other responsibilities.





After next month, things should go back to normal for a while, and once I’m at uni, I plan to spend around 3 hours a day with them. I just wanted to check in—does this sound okay, or should I try to adjust anything to make sure they’re still happy and well cared for?





Thanks so much in advance!

Hello and good luck with your exams ! It’s tough when other things have to take priority - don’t feel guilty about that
I think it’s fine - do they live together or side by side ?
I'm assuming that as they’ll they have each other ……thats the important thing
You can add lots of things to enrich their day …like sprinkling forage in with their hay,apple sticks or safe toys to chew on, paper bags filled with hay and forage etc
You sound like a devoted slave and …remember sometimes other priorities have to take over, school, or many forum people work etc
We love seeing pigtures of piggies so when you get chance if you could post some and tell us about your piggies
I have two Geoff (4yrs 4months) and Freddy (2yrs 8months) - Freddy is a skinny pig

As long as the piggies are fed and watered and have each other for company they will be fine so don’t worry about them.
Hope your exams go well and you get to uni ok.
What are you planning on studying ?

Hi! Thank you so much Yes, they live together. I’m planning to upgrade their cage next month, so they’ll have loads more space! I’ll also make sure they have plenty of enrichment toys to keep them happy. I’ll be sure to post lots of photos too! x
