Adult Guinea Pig
So on Tuesday I lost my beloved Prodigy, she went downhill so fast and the vet could do nothing to save her. She passed next to her pal Maya in the box while I was prepping some syringe food after the vets.
I left Maya with Prodigy for about 15 mins while I set up a bonding pen in the kitchen. Brought my other 2 girls in and tried to bond the 3 of them. Daisy accepted her after half an hour of being grumpy with her but Flash took great offence with her and eventually kept flying at her and eventually all ended in tears when she bit her nose.
Now Maya is back in the hutch in the shed, she has the other 2 girls to chat to in the hutch opposite. She however is alone in the hutch. Since Prodigy passed her behaviour has not changed at all, she is still running around doing zoomies and stuffing her face with all the food she can eat. I am giving her tons of hay each night and her snuggle safe pad to help keep her warm.
Just at a loss of what to do with her. My other half say's I can't get anymore pigs unless I rehome some others I have 4 boys as well as the other 2 girls. Maya is around 2.5 years old. She seems happy by herself but I don't know if this is the right thing for her. She has other pigs for company but not in the same hutch.
Help me please.
