This is so not good Thomas died this evening while I was at band I am quite angry at the pet shop for giving me very young guinea pigs and not giving me all the info on how to care for them. I don't think we will get another one, we will just have the one that we got today, he is bigger and now I have been told how to care for them. Andrew's knows about Thomas - I woke him up and told him - I felt he needed to know. He said that Thomas and Henry can be together again - very sweet ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

It makes you wonder if there is something wrong with their pigs, ie, an infection or disease??? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Id change where you are getting them from as i know someone who had the same problem down here with rabbits. DPs mum is a guinea pig breader but i know very little about them. Check out i think the animates website tells you how to care for them -------------

| yeah ,i agree with wrxchic, i had GPs when i was young they died within a week of each other and i only had them 2 weeks, then i got 2 more from another petshop and they lasted 2 years (perhaps it was 3) |

Yeah KA thats why I got 2 to begin with. I found out that the person that sold them to us got in a lot of trouble for not giving us the right info. I rang them up today and spoke with the manager and I didn't do my nut like I thought I would. They gave us another one about the same age as the new one we got yesterday. They are both happy in their hutch now. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
