Adventures in the U.S.

He cried out once in the car. He is pretty quiet (by the way, is it normal for a boar to not wheek?) in general, so it was more heart wrenching. I turned, and told him it would be worth it in a few weeks. He doesn’t believe me right now.
 
So I adopted a guinea pig about 2 years ago from these people that were starving cats were attacking it and terrible condition anyways after 2 years of trying to bond with her she won't go near anyone refuses to picked up and hides 24/7 does anyone have any clue she won't associate with my other 2
 
She could just be permanently that nervous, or she needs more socialization skills. How is she after about twenty minutes of floor time? A pile of vegetables while roaming gets everyone to run here. It works in the cage too, but floor time is more enthusiastic.
 
Is it okay to give a gp only the small pieces of hay at the end of the box/bag? It seems wrong to me to make them eat them.
 
Westley and his daughter were the first to be reunited. I put them outside, and after Sapphire followed her father ev.er.y.wheeeeere, I found him lying, curved slightly around her. She has known him through the bars all her life, but I wanted them to have a proper meeting before bringing out the other two. He does occasionally give her attention, but he mostly behaves like her dad.
Everything has been smooth. He is typically in the castle with Princess Buttercup.

Many years ago, when I had my first experience with guinea pigs, two out of three of my friend’s gp died in a day. The vet was just diagnosing one when a call from her father said another was dying. It was a genetic thing, and the third was unrelated.
No No died a few months ago. Nay Nay… all A-L-L vets in a three hour, two state radius cannot see her now. I have an appointment in five hours.

Good luck at the vets
 
I spent the morning (2:30 now) trying to keep my housemate happy. By that, I mean I couldn’t just tend to my sick girl. I had to do what I was told to keep the other (special needs) human happy. I now know that Nay Nay is happy to chow down on hay, but not happy to have water put in her face. She turned her head to be clear about that. :lol: She is back in the cage now that she has peed at least twice (on me!), and the painful back leg is actually just stomach discomfort. It is both legs that she won’t properly move, she hops.
 
Apparently the only problem was a bit of gas. All the drama for nothing. She is walking around, running at appropriate times, and climbing the side of the cage when she wants something.
In other news, I was watching a vet show. The things guinea pigs go through! Infected teeth (shouldn’t the vet have caught the infection when filing the teeth a few weeks previously?) causing an eye to pop out, and a naughty child putting his brother’s pig on the trampoline. One eye removal and a week later for the trampoline pig, and all was well. 🎉
 
My finger may have been moist with water, but I cannot express how strange it was to have Sapphire going to town, licking me. She has always been hard to figure out, and the least likely to allow affection. I could go on, but the bottom line is that she was happily licking me, and it was a shock.
