After this mornings terrible discovery i think its time to stop. I'm so heartbroken over the death of my two little wheekers i cant ever ever imagine taking in another piggy.....

So I'm taking the hard desicion to rehome the last 7 piggys i have here. maybe I'm not thinking straight, maybe I'm truly heartbroken but i cant ever imagine loving a piggy again like i loved those too. if it was rats....I'm defensless against them. they keep coming back and its not fair on the piggys :(

:( RIP Jingle and Chewy
 
I'm so sorry.

don't do anything rash.. take a little time to grieve before you make any decisions.
 
I am so sorry for what has happened. :(

Don't rush into rehoming them just yet, it will hit you harder when you realise how empty it will be without any piggies. The shock of it isn't making you think straight.

Is there no way you can re-think their housing situation to avoid rats? Could you not lay poison somewhere where the piggies will not get access to?
 
I am so sorry for your loss. I have just seen your other thread in RB.
It must have been a dreadful shock for you but please do not blame yourself and jump in to anything to quickly. At the minute, you are grieving and may not be thinking straight. Give it time for your heart to heal as you may feel differently in a few days. Your remaining piggies will be grieving too (((hugs))) x
 
I'm very sorry...

but I have to agree with the others. Think about it a few weeks. The piggies won't notice your heart is not in it anymore as long as they have hay, veggies and someone to check on them sometimes...

hugs!
 
Oh hunny I'm so sorry for your loss. Maybe give yourself a couple of days to think about things, you might come up with new ideas to keep your guinea's safe xx
 
Spishkey, you can't make any decisions so soon. Please don't.

About 6 weeks ago I was in a similar position to you, in that I had lost my "special" piggy.....as others here would say, "the piggy who stole my heart" (and I really know what you mean). I went through all kinds of emotions and feelings, including overwhelming feelings that I'd failed him. I couldn't imagine ever going through that kind of pain again. I was truly heartbroken, and still am, but I feel very differently now to how I did then, with regard to the lonely piggy who was left behind. At first I couldn't imagine keeping him and thought very seriously about rehoming him, in my grief.

Now, I'm so glad I didn't pursue rehoming. I'm looking forward to getting him a new cagemate and am so very glad that he's still here with me. Now I couldn't imagine being without him. I still feel desperately sad and shed a tear when I think of my "special" boy, but time does help us to cope with things we never thought we could. I know that the other piggy still needs me and, to be honest, I need him.

Everyone's different, so maybe you won't change your mind, but maybe you will....so please take your time and don't be hasty. You've had a terrible shock today and you're still reeling. I really think you shouldn't make any decisions until you've come to terms with what's happened. Then, and only then, do what you feel is right for you all. Whatever you decide, take care x
 
dont rush in to anything i agree with missy it is hard when we loss a special piggie or 2 i lost 2 beautiful boys last year they we're jakes cage mates but seeing how happy is with oliver it is well worth it xx
 
BIG HUG

Like everybody said - don't rush into anything when you grief is still so raw.
 
oh no :( i'm so sorry to hear you feel that way.
i hope you do what feels best for you, but like everyone's said please take some more time to think about it. grief can really alter your state of mind and you might really regret it later.
i know we don't know each other but if you want to chat or just vent i'm a PM away.
 
Spishkey, I'm so sorry that today has made you feel this way and I echo everyone else's sentiments that to make a decision in haste might mean you regret it. If you still feel the same way once this horrible day is a few weeks behind you then follow your heart but don't rush into anything.

Also - I don't know if you know of anyone there who has ferrets but if you can acquire some ferret poo and bedding material they've used and lay it wherever the rats might be gaining access then we've found it to be a really effective deterent which won't pose a direct risk to any onther animals who might come into contact with it (except to their noses perhaps!)

I hope you feel some peace soon

My heart goes out to you. The loss of any pet is overwhelming. Please take some time to consider your decision. You are in shock and need time to come to terms with what has happened. I love hearing all about the animals in your care and know how deeply you feel for them. Its bad enough losing one piggie, but two at the same time is so upsetting. Sending you hugs. Remember we are all here to help in any way we can.
 
Sending lots of hugs I know loosing a much loved pet is hard but loosing two is awful, give yourself time to grieve and please don't make any hasty decisions just yet
