New Born Pup
i did ample research before rescuing my guinea pigs. As an adult I've had pets before, no issue. I'm finding however that I'm overwhelmed. I feel pressurised to make sure the boys are happy all the time. I find that I am turning down social events because it's not fair on the boys. They have a 5 x 2 hutch so aren't confined in a really small space, but I'm putting so much pressure on myself to make sure they get hours of exercise that I'm making myself incredibly stressed and snappy at my daughter. In a way all my attention is going to the boys, rather than her.
3x days a week I work long hours and have sole care of my daughter and on those days I worry that I'm being an awful piggy owner because they don't get much exercise. Yesterday I left the house early and didn't get back til later and I felt terrible and really upset that I was letting them down.
I told my friend and she said I was being silly and they are no doubt very happy.
Please can other piggy owners tell me I'm doing ok?
