Sadly we recently have had a death in the family.
Our 3 and 1/2 year old male died of respiratory problems and despite a valiant fight with antibiotics he passed away.
Whilst its very sad for the humans its even more sad for his life long buddy.
The other male has now become very quiet and reserved (Its only been 3 days) but we are worried.
I originally got 2 because I didn't think it was inhumane just to keep one.
Now whilst the pet left behind is dearly loved would it be more humane to find him a new home with other Guinea Pigs or will he be fine on his own.
I thought about a new one, but as he is over 3 he is really set in his ways and I am not sure a new upstart is what he needs.
Any thoughts ?
