Re: The last guinea pig - opinions

With the last set of pigpigs I had two of my three girls passed away in quick succession and I was told by my parents that I was not allowed any more. The remaining girl, Sugar, was the youngest of the three and in good health (the other 2 pigpigs were 8ish and 7 and a bit when they passed away). Sugar was re-homed to a girl in the village so that she didn't have to keep her singular sow with her rabbits (I even gave her the old hutch, feed bowl, water bottle and remaining food, so she had no excuses on that one). For a while my sister checked regularly to make sure that the "not to be kept with the rabbits" part of the deal was being adhered to (my sister was closer to the girls family, so it seemed less rude if she checked for me and she also helped look after the pigpigs so knew what she was doing around pigpigs), but once we where satisfied that she would take good care of Sugar I let them take care of her as they saw fit.

I feel that this was the best solution given the surrounding situation as it stopped two animals from being lonely and stopped one from definitely getting hurt or much worse, killed. But as has been said the best solution for one might not be for everyone.
