Hi everyone hope it’s been a good Christmas.
We had a really sad day Monday when one of our two male guineapigs suddenly became ill and passed away. The vet wasn’t sure but thought it might have been a very bad urinary infection that had spread, a tumour or a neurological problem. We are now left with one male piggy. The usual living space is outside in a converted shed but since Monday we have kept our remaining piggy inside so that he is not alone. Does anyone have any suggestions on when might be acceptable to return him to his usual home? We only have a collapsible fabric pen indoors with a small wooden hut and some of his tunnels and chew toys in so it is not a permanent home and not much space compared to the shed. We have contacted a couple of rescue centres to ask advice on taking on a friend for him in the future. He currently seems happy as such as eating and drinking well and pottering about but we don’t want him to be lonely in the long term. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thank you
