I’m going to rehome my 3 GPs soon.I still love them very much, but this is for their own good.
I’m a minor, and my whole family hate the GPs. Every day; my parents complain about the smell even though I was fleece every day and spot clean several times a day. They force me to use DANGEROUS bedding, such as wire bottom cages and paper with lots of ink on it. They demand me to stop spending so much time to wash the fleece. Honestly fleece is the only safe and cheap bedding I can find here. And the GP cages, they’re WAY too small! At first they were in a HAMSTER CAGE. My mom got me a dog crate and told me to keep them in there despite the information I gave her about cage sizes. I managed to get a 2 by 4 CC now and I have to listen to their complaints every day about how much space it takes up. I have to get small 1 kg hay bags and pellet bags for them every 3 weeks (it’s the only way I can get it) and it’s getting so expensive. I save ALL of my pocket money for that but it’s not enough... I ask them for cash, but they won’t give me any! They even think of cutting down on my pocket money because I spend it all for the GPs! Whenever I find my dad to ask him to buy things for them, he tries to avoid it and that’s so annoying!!! You can see in my other thread about Durian. He was a weak baby who needed support, I asked dad to get CC for them and he refused. He said, “Why do you have to spend so much money on this? It’s going to die sooner or later.” Now the most important thing - vet trips.The exotic vet’s is far away from home and I can’t take the GPs there on my own. Every time I say “my guinea pig is sick”; they reply : “Oh well, then it dies! After that, we’ll get you a new one”. I explained that GPs hide illnesses and they’ll go downhill really quickly, and my GP must be brought to the vet’s ASAP. But they still avoid or delay it as much as they can! What if there was an emergency condition and they keep refusing to take my GPs to the vet like this??? They take the GPs out to threaten me.“If you fail your test, one of them will be thrown outside and left to die”. When I do something wrong, getting a bad grade for example; they will PUNISH the GPs instead! I cried watching them being held violently and left outside for a while. This is just too brutal. They treat my pets as if they were things that can be thrown out or give away anytime they want.The worst thing is, there’s nothing I can do about it.
I can’t keep watching the GPs suffer like this. This is a really tough decision, but I decided to give them to an adult who can take good care of them. I know I’ll miss them very much but if they stay with me, they suffer.
I want to know the last things I could do for them before they are rehomed.
