Teenage Guinea Pig
So how do you know if you're the best option for a guinea pigs new home or if someone else would do a better job?
Thank you for your supportive words they are appreciatedSelf doubt actually answers the question itself. I am part of a rescue who regularly vet potential adopters. The best homes are the ones where the adopters listen, ask questions and care very deeply about the pig’s welfare and happiness more than their own wants.
If you’ve got first refusal you were approved first ahead of someone else who meets the criteria. You are clearly a very caring owner. I’d take that first refusal, and see how dating goes. It’s naturally a bit of an unsettling time while you are waiting for a piggy. But it shows how caring you are as an owner. It may be that the pigs decide for you!
I agree with @YvonneBlue . You have demonstrated in previous posts how much you care about your piggies. You have also shown that you reach out for advice and follow it when you had a bad situation. Sadly there are a lot of owners who wouldn't and your Cookie wouldn't have made it through with one of those. So next time you doubt yourself, look at him.....
Thank you so much for your support and reassurance
