Rochester Piggy
Teenage Guinea Pig
Hello, I currently have one piggy, Cali. This is because her sister, Peanut, passed of pneumonia in December 2016. On Sunday, we are taking her to a rescue to be introduced to another piggy! But I have a few concerns about her.
Short disclaimer: I am one of those always worrying piggy owners. I practically go into hysterics if she pees in "the wrong spot" or doesn't wheek "loud enough" when it's veggie time! I feel like I'm trying to protect her from illness by worrying, but i know thats impossible. She does get daily health checks and is weighed every 3-5 days.
So, yesterday I put Cali's fleece forest in the loft in the place of her favorite hidey. She loves the loft, but hasnt been fond of the fleece forest. Today, she was spending all her time downstairs eating, pooping, or sleeping, and didnt spend near as much time upstairs (its a ramp btw but we say upstairs and downstairs) as usual. My mum thinks its because she hasnt always liked the fleece forest. I'm considered the household guinea pig expert and I wanted a second opinion on here. Thanks!
