Not Ranked. Helpful AND tactful post? : 0 My second guinea pig, Chuckles passed away last night. I think he was about 6 years old. I took him out of his cage and gave him floor time, and he seemed OK. When I was walking into my room to go to bed, I looked in his cage and saw his lifeless body. His health had been declining within the past few months though, so I pretty much knew it was coming. It was getting harder for him to get around the cage, his eyesight was almost gone and he was having bad impaction problems. I do know that I provided him with a good life for the last few months he was around. When I first rescued him from the kiddie area at work, he was the most pathetic looking creature I had ever seen. With a proper diet and a better cage he flourished for a long time. He will be missed. |
