An angry rant...

A bloody FARM that I 'like' on FB has just advertised 'for sale - one male guinea pig'

Why would a farm sell singleton pigs?!! Maybe in biased but having seen a poor singleton piggie living a very pathetic life at a friends it just makes me angry!!!

Plus a farm should know that piggies live for company?!

It is Angry isn't it.
Maybe they don't know/care that pigs need company
Maybe they believe the 'boars will fight to death' blurb ( boars can be angsty little blighters but there's usually a compromise, it shouldn't mean that they should have solitude because someone can't think outside the box)

I'm all for phoning the Gumtree Sellers to give them hassle - the number of GPs for sale because the DC have allergies.
Allergies are probably rife at this time of year, and it's also holiday time. Maybe the people who have bought these piggies "a couple of months ago" have realised that good boarding is about £2-4 per pig/ per night (our GPs added £70 to our holiday budget last year).

I was cuddling the older boy last night , DD took the Rex (who she is allergic to Sad ) to her room for a cuddle. She has to keep him away from her face or she goes blotchy.

My mum and dad have the girls for us when we go away... They are having a 12 day holiday with them and their luscious green grass in August Grin
