Adult Guinea Pig
Hello everyone!
Hope your all well and your furries are well too!
I seem to be having problems with my little bruce (who turned 1 on the 10th July!)
Out of my 6 boars he is 1 of 2 that is on his own due to fighting and drawing blood. My other pig Dexter who is on his own - loves been on his own and is much happier that way.
However Bruce is not so happy and i don't know what to do with the poor fella.
He sulks in his bed most of the day only comming out for veggies which he carries to bed before eating - when its exercise time he just runs back to the shed as if he doesn't want to be out.
I had him vet checked today just to be on the safe side and she said he seems absolutely fine.
I can only assume that my Bruce needs some piggie company but unfortunately the only pig i have who i could pair with him is Dexter who has made it perfectly clear he wants nothing to do with him.
So what do i do with my sweet boy? Another guinea pig is not an option as my shed is full - i've been bringing him indoors during the day which seems to perk him up for a short time but then he just hides in his pigloo.
I really don't want to rehome him (if it HAD to be done for his happiness and all else failed then i would obviously consider it)
Any ideas? I can't stand seeing him so sad
Just to add - he is in a shed with the other 5 pigs - he can hear them and smell them but not see them as all the pigs seem to get wound up when they can see each other.
Hope your all well and your furries are well too!
