What can we do for him?

[Natrista]

one of my boys Cheese (the orange one) recently passed away from unknown reasons. The other one, macaroni and him were bonded. I've read that guineapigs can get depressed after their mate passes away, is there anything I can do to prevent this? Or is there anything i can do to help him in general? Please let me know ^-^

So sorry for your sad loss. Perhaps you could think of getting Macaroni a new companion when you are both ready. Rescues do boar dating and there will be lots of lonely piggies looking for a super new home. Sleep tight little Cheese x

So sorry for your loss.
I agree with Bill&Ted. When you are ready, the best thing to do is to get macaroni a new friend.

Hi and welcome

I am very sorry for your loss. We have a Rainbow Bridge section where you are welcome to post a tribute to Cheese if you wish to.

Here are our tips on what you can do for Macaroni in the short and in the longer term; the guide also contains a link to the sadly rather few Canadian guinea pig rescues that offer bonding for bereaved piggies.
