Junior Guinea Pig
Hi all!
Not sure if I’ll be remembered, but I'm the gal with two lady pigs, one who was diagnosed with kidney failure.
My pigs are my absolute top priority, I will never do anything that could make them sad or uncomfortable. My yenyen at the moment has gained weight wonderfully being on some medicine daily, she eats fabulous but as she always has been, she’s extremely lazy. I feel badly for my other pig Ciri, as she is very very active and playful.
One of my friends rescued a pig a few weeks back, not from any bad conditions unfortunately all her friends passed and the lady just doesn’t want to have pigs anymore. She is 4 years old (the exact same age as my pair) and very gentle.
I feel very badly for this pig as no one is interested in getting her currently, so for now she is still living alone with a friend of mine. I do feel that Yen is in the best place she can be with her illness, and Ciri could really do with a mate who will actually play with her and interact more.
I have no idea if it’s a mental idea to bond another pig into my herd but I’d love to know what you think? I have already read up on how to bond and could have enough space for them to live next to each other for a while. I’m not sure I could house her forever, but my friend has said she can take her back if it doesn’t go well.
What do you think? Yen has had an extreme amount of attention due to having a very difficult life, I do feel for ciri and wonder if a mate would do her well too but obviously my main priority is the health of my pigs.
Many thanks
Ellie
