lonely guinea pig

Hiya, So I came home from school yesterday and fed the pigs and noticed that Murphy was stumbling down his ramp, I tried to give him food as he’s usually eager to run up to me and snatch it out of my hand and he was slowly walking away, immediately realising something was wrong I picked him up...

As stated in a previous thread, I recently adopted 2 male guinea pigs however one managed to escape as I opened their hutch and ran away into my neighbours garden. I searched for over an hour and left a warm box with hay and food hoping he'd return but it's been almost 5 days and I'm beginning...

Hi all, Just first wanted to say what a wonderful place this forum is, it's so lovely to see so many people with a shared live of Piggies helping eachother out. I had 2 male Guinea pigs; Arthur and Merlin. Sadly, I returned from work on Thursday to find that Merlin had passed away :'( After...

Hello I'm wondering if anyone has any advice for us. We have a guinea pig who last month lost her partner in crime. Within two days of the loss she was prescribed Baytril for a believed issue with her bladder or uterus. Scans showed no stones or sludge. The Baytril (we believe) caused her to...

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...

I came home from university last night for my mum to tell me one of my gorgeous Guinea pigs has sadly passed away. She was only two and a half years old but she meant so much to me and she really was such a gorgeous pig inside and out. I am left with my other very special piggy, Anna's sister...

Hi, I am really devastated as one of my Guinea pigs died last night she was sister to my surviving piggy. I love them so much and I am incredibly worried about my lone Guinea pig (Elsa) and how she will cope. I have had Guinea pigs before but when one of the sister died that time they were both...

Hello everyone, I just lost my guinea pig Marigold today, I came into feed her and callie but she was just lying in the corner. Callie was beside her and my heart broke. I was wondering what should I do about callie? I have buried marigold and I miss her little greedy face when I look into their...

So after just a week of owner the beautiful happy guinea pig Brownie I found her dead this morning. I think her sudden death is because of her previous home. I think in her old home she and her friend were neglected, they didn't have toys, they had no hay, and no veg apart from a full carrot cut...

I adopted my male guinea pig from the adoption centre at pets at home and I want to find him a friend, but obviously being a male there is a large chance of fighting if I got another male, I've thought of neutering him and getting a female, but he is only around 1 year old so I don't think that...
