Yesterday evening I found one of my two girl piggies had passed away. she was lying in her big cardboard tube and looked as if she was sleeping.
She was fine earlier in the afternoon and was fighting for baby carrots with her evil nemesis sister, I have no idea why she died . They are only about 4years old and despite barbering each other's fur off in grooming competitions and not really liking to be held, they seemed to have a happy, hay-filled life.
But now the remaining sister is curled up asleep in the top of my sleeve making typing rather difficult and housework impossible. She spent the night in a cardboard box full of hay and treats in our bed but obviously co-sleeping with a piggie is not sustainable and she needs a new friend.
I wonder if she would be happier with a girl piggie of her own sort of age or a pair of babies to keep her amused or possibly a neutered boy?
Does anyone have any experience of making a bereaved piggie happy again?
