New Born Pup
Hoping for some advice. Our piggy Lucille died suddenly on Friday evening leaving behind her sister Delilah.
We were due to be away for the weekend, and my mum kindly looked after Delilah for us at hers so she had someone nearby 24/7. This meant putting her in a temporary cage setup - a Ferplast 120 vs her normal 4x2 C&C. She’s back home with us now and I’ve kept her in the Ferplast as it means she can be in the living room where there is normally at least one family member, whereas her C&C is in the study which we aren’t in so often. Is this a sensible approach? The C&C won’t fit downstairs at all. I don’t want to overwhelm her, but also very aware she might be lonely or just missing the presence of another pig (they were never a cuddly pair, but just seemed to happily co-exist) She seems a bit quieter than normal, but is pottering round the cage a little and eating her hay and veggies. She’s getting lots of cuddles and has some new toys in the cage.
We’re on holiday for a week from this weekend, so she’ll be boarding whilst we’re away. Once we’re back we’ll think more seriously about a new buddy for her. Just want to make sure we’re doing right by her in the meantime! Is there more we could do?
