Ive just read all through this thread as I'm reasonably new and I cant begin to think how you must be feeling :( everyone is right though, dont give up hope and I prey you get woo woo back! He is a gorgeous piggy and hope that for the time being he is being well looked after! You did your very best to get him back, you couldnt do much else, just dont lose hope! Ill keep everything crossed for you x
 
It's now 5 months today since my baby boy was taken :'( and no news whatsoever since the day he was stolen. I am going to contact the local paper again to see if they'll re-run the story.

On the back of the BBC progamme about finding lost pets, i have sent an email to someone connected with the show. I have already registered on the Animal Search UK website (2 days after the incident) so there is no more they can do.

I am thinking of doing another leaflet run as i believe that he would have been moved on by now after possibly being kept hidden whilst the trail was initially hot.

Hope everyone on here is well x
 
I am so sorry you have not got your baby back. I really feel for you. I do not know how anybody could have done such a cruel act.
 
I really hoped he would of been found by now, like you say tho he may of been moved on and the next person could contact you, now the trail has gone cold it is definately a good idea to highlight it again
 
I am so sorry this has happened. It must be a nightmare. I'd be having nightmares.

Please don't give up hope. I really wish there was a way I could help. I've put you on watch on facebook and hope one day I will see the fantastic news that woo-woo has been found and returned to you.
I'm sure he misses you just as much as you miss him.

so sorry love, i watched that programme too, but i thought the cost of doing what they do was wayyyyy too much, we could all group together and do that for free!

How lovely to get your pet back though.

Anyway, i suddenly had a thought, what if your woo woo had been taken to a rescue somewhere even one on here, would they remember his face?

Maybe you should put some more pics up just in case...just to jog everyones memory, it doesnt hurt does it.

Still have our fingers and paws crossed here for you, i really dont know how you ever get past something like this.

Woo-woo is still very much in my thoughts. He has a diamond of ginger on his forehead so is easy to spot, and I've looked at lots of piggy pics to see if he's been handed in to other rescues, one day hopefully he will be spotted.

Hi
I'm new to this forum and have only picked up this thread - it broke my heart - what you've been going through I can't imagine.

Had a look on ebay and found 2 hutches identical but one says it's from pets at home so I guess there's going to be a lot around.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RABBIT-HUTCH-AND-RUN-/160642091197?pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Small_Animals&hash=item256703c8bd#ht_500wt_1156

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RABBIT-HUTCH-EXTRAS-GOOD-USED-COND-COLLECT-YO18-/320747385683?pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Small_Animals&hash=item4aae08b353#ht_702wt_1139

Also found this http://www.gumtree.com/p/pets/guinea-pigs-for-sale/84614869 I know the information is rubbish but was just another thought.

Finally other websites that came up were http://www.freeads.co.uk/ipswich/buy__sell/pets/guinea_pigs/ and
http://pets.oodle.co.uk/small-furry-animals/ipswich-area/

Might be worth keeping an eye on but I'm sure you're doing that already.

I really wish I could help :-(
 
Thank you so much for the links you have given me, i have eliminated a few but i will definitely be following up the ones with the hutches as they are exactly the same as Woo-Woo's one, and interestingly one of them has a couple of items included that were also stolen. Thanks again :)

I missed a call from the Pet Detectives aswell today so i will be calling them back this afternoon.
 
You're welcome - I just wish I could get him back for you :(

Best of luck with the pet detectives... I went through all the hutches on ebay and those were the only 2 identical (listed as 'used') that I could find but I guess it's worth checking every week or so as new ones are listed.
 
ps - I also did an ebay search for yellow storage boxes but couldn't find anything similar.

I also checked the feedback of the two sellers of the hutches to see if they'd sold anything else 'guinea pig' related. One of them had quite a few private sales where they'd hidden what had been sold. Sure it's probably nothing but worth a go xx
 
I try to keep an eye all the different places selling guinea-pig related things but it is literally a full-time job, and amongst everything else in my life it's really hard to keep up, i try to do my best but when others can help it's fantastic :) thank you again, i will keep you all posted xx
 
Oh god, I know, I can't imagine how hard it must be.

In no way was I suggesting you weren't doing everything possible.

Best of luck and give me a shout if I can help in anyway x
 
Finally thinking of getting another piggy!

Sooooo...after 16 months following Woo-Woo's theft i am considering rehoming a pair of piggies. I don't want to replace my little man, but i miss the squeak and and company of a furry piggy :)

I was wondering if anyone would recommend an organisation in the Essex area. I have looked online but am wary of places unless i've had personal recommendations. Of course i know the RSPCA rehome piggies but would quite like to use a local rescue.

Welcome back :) Sorry that Woo Woo was never found.
Oooh don't dismiss the Rspca though, Allan ( tillythepig ) who is based in Mildenhall has plenty of adorable piggies looking for new homes :)
