Hi- I go to university and on our community board today I saw a posting from someone saying they had a mom guinea pig with one 2 week old baby that they needed to get rid of immediatley or they would be set free in the next day or two. I am now having a dilemma. I recently adopted a month old piggy that is in quarantine and will be added to my other two boars in about 2 1/2 weeks. We really were not looking to have four but it seems I may have no choice. I cant imagine letting this happen and not doing anything about it. I called them this afternoon and they apparently found a home for the mother so they now have this lonely 2 week old piggy that they are willing to hold for me for a day before they release him. My main question I guess is about his age. Will a pig who was seperated from his mother at this young age be able to thrive? Will there be major problems? Would I have to feed him differently? I have come to the realization I wont have a choice but to take him and try to find him a home with someone else since four really wasnt on the agenda.
Thanks
