Junior Guinea Pig
Well, it's only been 3 days but I'm already having withdrawal symptoms since losing my remaining piggy. My family swear they wont have any more but ultimately it would be up to me. If I were to get more pigs I'd probably build a cage instead of using the pet shop ones and now I know so much more about diet and health that I feel it would be a waste to not at least look after guinea pigs! This is a question for those members who have had more pigs after losing one or have had pigs for many years, how do you deal with the loss? Not just the grief (even though I know it's a horrible pain) but the pig from the pair that's left over, I've now learnt that they grieve in very subtle and different ways and it's sometimes hard to tell and want to replace them. Maybe getting pigs of mixed gender and age would be a good idea? I feel like I would want more than 2 if i were to get more, maybe 2 babies and then a couple more in 6 months-1 year?
From experience, what's the best way to own them and how many is too many?
