hello the other day I heard squealing from there hutch I rushed to them so see my white one chasing what looked like a rat out the other on was hiding! 2 days later to my horror I opened hutch to find the white one lying by the side of there bed with his face completely torn off 😭 I couldn’t see the black one so I guessed he was dead in there bed then after all of my hysterical crying his little nose pops out so I had to get him out which was a struggle as he was terrified Iv thrown hutch out and got a indoor cage where he’s safe he’s very scared not his normal self but starting to trust us again. Iv noticed a few scabs on his nose eye and other places I’m wondering if he’s been bitten or scratched and if he is would he be ok or should I take him to the vets he’s only 3month old bless him

I’m so sorry to hear that. How scary and I’m sorry for your loss.

Please do have him seen by a vet. I hope he is ok
 
I’m so sorry for your traumatic loss :( Please have the remaining piggy checked by a vet as he could have internal injuries and may need antibiotics to prevent infection of his bites x
 
I'm so sorry for your loss. I agree the remaining piggy definitely needs to see a vet ASAP.
 
Thank you I will ring first thing in morning I’m very surprised he didn’t have a heart attack
 
Oh what an awful shock, so sorry you’ve lost one piggie, you’ll feel happier your other little fella is inside now x
 
Yes, he would have been too scared to stay outside on his own. How traumatic for everyone 😭

Your priority is to get him checked out by the vet as rats can carry diseases vets know about but the rest of us haven't even heard of. Once he's sorted physically you'll be wanting to find him another friend - he might not get back to his normal self until he can move forward with another piggy. But gt his health sorted first before you think about calling round the rescues to ask about piggy 'dating'. Take care.
