I am writing this with great sadness as our guinea pig Caramel died suddenly leaving her mate Bailey .This happened 2 years ago when we (my son and I)got 2 guinea pigs(Bailey &Ginger) .We were so distraught when our 1st piggy Ginger died at 2 years old but we got a companion ,Caramel for Bailey and they have been great friends .However now Bailey who is 4 is on her own .I know they can’t be on their own but my son said he can’t go through getting another pig to go through this again as it is heart wrenching -he’s 10.however through tears he doesn’t want to give her up either .He wants to be able to know ( poss see her sometimes) she is ok .I know about fostering but then he could get attached to this piggie and it’s so hard going through grief and thinking what’s best for Bailey .we will always do what’s right but it is so painful thinking of losing her too..
