bereaved pig

Hi everyone, Piglet here! I have some exciting news to share with you all.. After losing my big “sister” Biscuit, piggymummy noticed that I was feeling really lonely. So, she and piggydaddy found me a new sister. They were very nervous in case we wouldn’t get on, but we do, honest! Okay, so I...

Hello, lovely forum. As some of you may or may not know, we lost our sweet Biscuit yesterday morning after a short battle with illness and not eating. I am not yet ready to post in the Rainbow thread, my heart is too tender. I have read the guides to looking after a bereaved Piggy, and just...

Hi, I’m sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum firstly! However I’m looking to foster a male guinea pig due to losing one and having a single bereaving boy now, and I’m just wondering if anybody knows any sanctuaries etc that will foster to me in the Liverpool area? Surrounding is alright...

Hello all. New here. Yes, I read the above threads, but as you all know when this happens you still have to ask. So, we lost a pig yesterday. Truffles. He died very quickly, as did his brother (actual brother, from the same litter, who passed away about 4 months ago). They were bought from a...

Hi everyone :) I know that every pig is different and it's impossible to comment on different situations when you don't know the pigs in question, but any generic advice would be very gratefully received! I still have my lonely 7 month old girl, who's best friend died a couple of weeks ago. The...
