New Born Pup
Hello Guys,
One of my two guinea pigs (Angel and Thendral) has passed away recently.
It was the first time going through this and I am heartbroken. It has only been them two for the 4.5 years that i have had them, and to see Angel all alone breaks me. Its been a few days since Thendral's passing, and now i am looking for options as to what to do with Angel.
I dont really want to get another young guinea pig, i havent got the emotional capacity, or the time to embark on another set of piggies, as much as i would love to. I was looking into adopting an older guinea pig, and i was looking at some bereavment forums on here, and they are saying that some options exist where they allow us to adopt a guinea pig for the duration of Angel's lifetime? I'm not really sure about this though..
I dont really want to give up Angel either, and so giving her up for adoption wouldnt really suit me.
I'm conflicted as to what to do, and as a new guinea pig owner, this is the first time i'm going through any of this. I really hope that some more experienced piggie owners can help me out here.
Also, for the duration that Angel has been alone, i have been at home all day, so i've made sure to spend a lot more time with her, however now i have other commitments during the day, does anyone know what i can do to help Angel while there is nobody at home? I've read online that playing music and stuff might help, but some guidance on this would be appreciated!
Thank you all, If you guys need any more details then please ask. Thanks again for all of your support, i know these forums are very supportive and i hope you guys will be able to help me.
