We adopted two boars from a rescue last autumn, thought to be around 2 years old. They were called Timmy and Tonka and we loved them. Timmy was the smaller, cleverer one and a Tonka the bigger but slightly daft one. We're away on our first holiday since we got them, and had left them with a friend who has had piggies before. My husband took their hutch, run etc over to my friend's house and settled them in. All seemed fine, we set off the next day. But last night Timmy was quieter than usual and didn't seem right. My friend sent me a message but I didn't get it till this morning - but she consulted her vets over the phone twice. By this morning Timmy had died 😥I an feeling so guilty in case I've missed something, or the stress of moving them caused it. The guinea pigs are my first ever pets (they're really my daughter's, but I've never had pets before!) and they were such characters. Tonka is ok, my lovely friend took him to the vet for a check-up and he's in good health, I just wish I'd known Timmy wasn't. Not really asking for advice, and I know this can happen with guinea pigs, just wanted to share with people who might understand. Please be kind, I am really upset.
