oh fluffy 
they are going to give her time to settle then try once more xx
I have to fight the urge to message sue to see how she's doing she worries me because she sometimes stops eating when she's stressed but I made sue aware and I know she's in good hands 
xx
Thankyou
I feel silly for missing her because I know she's in safe hands but she was my first pet (along with nugget) and we've never been apart 
it has been a stressful week, we've been here before with her though and got her a friend eventually, and an hour into the bond is an improvement for her they usually fail in the first 5-10mins when she freaks out she's a sweetie really she's just a little crazy 
I wouldn't change her I just want her to be happy and find a new friend 
I still don't feel like I've had chance to grieve with everything going on but I know she'll be home soon 
I think I'll feel better next week when I have Ps ashes back too 
It just shows how impressionable Guinea pigs are!
Thankyou I was very impressed with speaking to sue on the phone, she seems amazing and the fact they are still doing bondings for bereaved piggies while under shielding measures themselves is unbelievably amazingI read on the last page you said you felt awful leaving her in a strange environment, which I totally get however my Little went to cavy corner to be bonded with Peanut around 3 days after his friend passed away. I thought I’d be the same as you, feeling bad or worried about him, but as soon as I got to cavy corner and saw all the piggies and spoke to Sue, I wasn’t worried at all. There was something about the rescue that just made me feel completely at ease, i just knew it was a safe place for Little and he knew it too. Sue put Little on the grass and he began eating his heart out straight away, even at home he had always been hesitant on the grass outside but not at cavy corner! It’s hard to describe unless you’re there but not a single part of me worried for Little, and I didn’t feel bad leaving him behind. I didn’t know what to do with myself though until he came back, I was constantly thinking “I wonder if he’s found his new friend yet?”. There are so many piggies there too and they are quite audible so your girl will feel completely safe too. It’s funny, Little would always turn his nose up at red pepper, he came back from Cavy Corner and loved it
it's hard because of the social distancing all we could do is drop her carrier in the garden so we never got to see the piggies or anything but I did feel completely at ease after talking to sue and I have 3 other piggies at home keeping me busy it is just quiet without my chief wheeker
she'll be coming home alone later today poor fluffy 
xx
Me too but we will get there eventually, I will contact millhaven next xx
I’ve just emailed Milhaven myself to see about a potential friend for Edward and Elizabeth once they reopen
I’m so sorry bonding didn’t work with Fluffy, such a shame
That’s great news @Claire Wxx
Definitely all other rescues are closed anyway so lots of tlc for her
xx
Hopefully the next visit will go a bit better for the headstrong little lady! Hope you both enjoy all your cuddles xxDefinitely all other rescues are closed anyway so lots of tlc for her
Good luck! xx
bless her she's down to a teeny for her 986g (she averages 1140ish) xx
Shes home safely, she's had a cuddle and settled back in, she's very subdued and down more weight I think she needs a little break before we try any more bonding attempts for her, ill give her a week then make more contacts, sue willl let me know if they get any more likely matches too
Sue did say she was eating grass and veg though so that's good, she definitely hasn't gone on complete hunger strike she is just clearly rather stressed out
Just about to set off
Thankyou she is sadly back home friendless after becoming aggressive with all potential options
she has lost more weight too and is down from 1140g when p became very sick to a tiny 986g, sue will contact me if she has any more options become available and I will start contacting other rescues but I'm going to give her a few days to calm down and settle first xx
Thankyou she is sadly back home friendless after becoming aggressive with all potential options
Thankyou, yes it took a 3 week slow bond for her and princess to fall in love, they'd both had a string of unsuccessful dates so were likely quite the unlikely match but they had an incredible bondI am sorry! You are trying your best for her. If necessary step in with offering feeding top up. the weight loss is not yet critical.
I have a fair number of socially awkward and fear-agressive sows myself. Beryn is back to being on her own after losing her first (and only ever) companion Betsan in February; that feat 'only' took me 1 1/2 years...
But as Beryn is showing - there is a friend out there somewhere for nearly every piggy; it just takes patience and persistence. The timing for both bereaved problem girls with massive fear-aggression issues couldn't be more awkward, though...
I feel like I'm grieving once for the loss of princess and then again for the loss of her and fluffys special bond I am sure she will find a friend eventually, she looks so sad
Thankyou, yes it took a 3 week slow bond for her and princess to fall in love, they'd both had a string of unsuccessful dates so were likely quite the unlikely match but they had an incredible bond
I am very sorry for yours and beryns lossI am still upset that Betsan died from a massive heart attack out of the blue at just 5 years old...
But that is life. You have to take it as it comes. Beryn is back to being frightened stiff when face to face with any other piggy.
Unlike Fluffy, as an ex-single piggy (hece her social hang-ups), she is at least OK as a live-alongside piggy although Beryn's loss has been hard on her.
fluffys issues seem to stem from a hormonal fueled fall out with nugget last July just days after we lost our cat to lymphoma it seems piggies and social issues always arise at tricky times, I found the forum a little too late or maybe we'd have known about hormonal issues and spaying sooner and could've saved the bond 
I am sure we will get there with both these socially awkward girlie's eventually, fluffy has always been a very timid piggy (pah piggy), she is confident with most humans now (has been known to teeth chatter at the vets during a nail clip) we just need to get her back to enjoying other piggies company, she can at least hear the piggies below her which is better than nothing at all I need to re look at the reconmended rescues list to suss out all potential options, I know about millhaven who I will contact then take it from there, I think she needs a week or two break anyway but worry if she's alone for too long we could have more problems I appreciate all the advice thankyou x
