I sadly had to have one of my two girls, Ginger, PTS on Monday night. My other piggie Baby seemed ok to begin with, but just isn't herself now. I don't think she's eating properly, and she's just lying around in her bed most of the time. I don't think she's ill, just missing her friend.

I'll be keeping an eye on her weight, and have some Critical Care if things get bad, but wondered if anyone had any other advice?

Should I get another to keep her company? She's quite dominant, and I had trouble bonding her with Ginger to begin with, and again when they had to be separated due to a surgery. Would she be likely to get on with another pig now? She's nearly four and a half. Or does anyone know of any rescues in Norfolk that will do piggie dating?
 
Hello Agnetha,

Welcome to the forum, sorry it is in such sad circumstances. It certainly sounds like she is grieving and missing her friend quite badly. I would say she could do with a new friend quite soon by the sound of it.
Give her lots of attention as I am sure you are doing and lots of nice food to tempt her to eat. I don't know of any reputable rescues in Norfolk I am afraid, but a few of our members live that way so I will point them in direction of this thread....
 
Hi,

Sorry to hear this sad news, There was only one Norfolk i knew of that did dating and that was EAGPR, but I think that is now closed.... It does sound like she is missing her friend and would benefit from a new friend, but I do ot know of any rescues that do dating.

This Animal rescue takes in Guinea Pigs, however i am not sure if they re-home them or offer a dating service, though a phone call would confirm either way http://www.faithanimalrescue.co.uk/

Good luck with the search, if i can help in any way, please do not hesiaite to ask. x
 
Does anyone know if Allen (tillythepig) still have piggies for adoption for the RSPCA? I have three of my current give guinea pigs from him :) He is based in Mildenhall, Suffolk
Sorry for your loss, give your piggy plenty of cuddles from me!
