I know quite a few people on here will not understand why I am rehoming or why I feel this way. That's fine, though. I know I am doing this for them. For what they need and deserve. I want to see if there is another home out there that would be better than mine. To give them the extra time that I feel I can't give right now. I love all of my fur babies, it's just different with Guinness being gone. Can't really explain it, it's just deep down in my soul. After 4 guinea pig losses since last September, I just can't do it. If you feel I am abandoning them, I am sorry. I don't feel that way. I am not dropping them off at my local shelter or giving them away for free. I love them and want them to find a proper forever home.
I am also sorry if I miss read your last post. I read it as you feel I am doing this for myself and abandoning them. That is simply not the case.
I agree that you probably should talk to a professional. I wonder if you might be suffering from depression since the loss of Guinness. I know how hard it is to lose these little ones. Maybe Guinness's death has triggered a sense of burden or obligation that's overwhelming.Talking to a professional might help with that. If you love them, I'd give it more time for their sake. I'm sorry you're feeling the way you do but I think you need to address that grief if that's at the root of feeling the need to rehome them.
