Just here for a little bit of advice. We lost my precious buttercup on Wednesday and not even four months ago lost our beautiful poppy, we are now left with honey and Hazel. We have always referred to them as the naughty children, poppy and buttercup were always so affectionate to eachother and to the others, but honey and Hazel have a bit of a love hate relationship. I feel awful for them especially Hazel as she and buttercup grew a lot closer after poppys passing. She liked to be around other piggies. Honey likes to keep herself to herself but also hates being alone. I’ve already noticed them getting slightly closer but i don’t know how best to support them after this huge and sudden loss. They had the chance to say their goodbyes so they know she isn’t there anymore. Even before she passed when she started to feel a bit poorly Hazel wouldn’t go near her which is unusual. Do they sense when their bodies are shutting down even before we do?
The cage is so empty. I’m still making sure there’s four beds, one for each piggie even though there’s only two in there now
I want the two of them to feel supported by eachother but they’ve never been very affectionate towards eachother.
Any advice for helping my piggies and myself cope with this adjustment as we are struggling.
