I feel like a horrendous pet owner. My DH fed the pigs this morning when he got up and I fed them this afternoon. When he came home from work he fed them again and I mentioned I had not seen Bertie in the past few hours (and to my eternal shame I joked that maybe he is dead - oh God I am awful). We checked under the pigloo and he had died :( He was just laid there, my DH says he was still warm so we think he had died recently.
He was a bit thinner but he was so happy and chirpy and he was eating and drinking and playing. And now he is dead :(
My 3rd guinea pig died last month as well so we are down from 3 to just 1.
My other guinea pig is roaming around his cage and I feel so sorry for him - how will he cope being alone? Can we do anything to make it easier for him? I don't think we could introduce another one because Milo is older and dominant and he would fight another guinea pig I think.
Urgh, this is horrible :(
