Updated my details!

I have finally admitted to myself that I have 5 guinea pigs, when my 2 original 'boys' had babies I decided that 5 was far too many to keep in a flat but guess what.........who needs space when you have the love of a guinea pig.

I hope that you will have lots of joy watching your babies growing up!

I had to give up my own first lot of surprise babies from a shop sow when it became just too difficult to hang onto them due to a major illness in the immediate family at the time that involved a lot of travelling on often extremely short (or no) notice. And I have rued it ever since... especially after I never heard of them again after they'd been rehomed by a local rescue.

I think, deep down, I knew I was keeping them from the start, its just sitting with the boys, rover and spot, this morning that I dont think I could give them up.
One of my sisters piggies died unexpectedly, at only 2 years old and my 3 year old nephew doesnt understand where he has gone, he came up to mine and was searching through my cages to find his 'teh teh' and I just thought of what it would be like if one of mine was not there.

Aww poor little boy. I am so glad you are keeping them.

when blossom had babies unexpectedly my oh said they had to go when they were old enough. i was not happy. but instead he built me a huge block of hutches for them - insulated them too - he wouldn't let them go himself now. 2 boys did go to my uncles but i can still see them. i couldn't bare to be without them and not knowing if they were being looked after would worry me. i don't blame you for keeping them. somehow you make the space for a little more love in your heart as well as space in your house

I don't think you find space in your heart, as space runs out eventually. Your heart simply 'grows' to include any new piggies
