Junior Guinea Pig
Hi there, In March of last year i had posted about Chai with abcess and lack of money and loss of one guinea pig there were still three. Chai recovered from Abcess and had a mystery lump which grew got poked bled and was cancerous he fought and surgery was not an option he was losing weight and hid his pain as they do but was getting ill and although painful to say good bye i did and felt horrible. The other two boys lived in own pens they would get snippy with one another Cadbury quite suddenly started to have issues and we were treating what seems like maybe eye infection he was seen by vet was lively running and even the next morning was lively but i got home and he died in my arms. so now Wicket who will be four on a gotcha day of october 11th likely was 8 weeks old when i got him he was so tiny, is alone. he is doing well and did get to say good bye to Cadbury which i am thankful for. Cadbury died literally day after his big brothers 1 year good by anniversary. So Wicket is eating, drinking doing all guinea pig things but i know he is lonely and he gets lots of attention but he is quiet hiding and i know they are social. Moneywise two were difficult i was always afraid of next vet bill and not asking for advice on loan guinea pig i know its not good. Options for adoption not great, shelter not an option for getting one, store has a lone male right now and i am ready to go get him but i fear i am acting out in my grief too. i got Wicket and Cadbury so they could be together not realizing the short time. i am just not sure if it is too soon for Wicket to get a new neighbour fact it boys don't always get along. Advice on bonding, am i crazy to get into this guinea pig cycle when i know money is so tight.....and giving him to someone is not an option and i can't surrender him i just can't....but so afraid he will die lonely because lone piggies don't do well and i would feel horrible
Sorry grief vent i just having hard time processing all this so any advice on timing to get a friend and bonding i know neutral ground i have a big hide which honestly wicket bonded right away with Severus who was daddy to him. i am just at a loss. and don't know what to do well do but so scared i get a baby and then something will happen to wicket and be back to one and afraid.
