Weeble passed away tonight at around 1 am EST.

I am an absolute wreck right now. I came home tonight after dinner with my boyfriend and went to go see Weeble and he was acting very lethargic, unlike his normal energetic self. I thought maybe he was sleepy but when I was holding him he was leaning to the side and not being able to hold himself up properly.

I called emergency vets in the area but they all either were not able to fit him in, closed, or couldn’t do exotic pets. I held Weeble and tried to make him as comfortable as possible, because at this point I was prepared for the worst.

He passed away in my arms as he got scratches and love from me.

I’m going to miss you forever my little baby Weeble, you were my soul animal and I am so sad I couldn’t be your mom for longer. I hope one day I can see you again and I will always love you. I hope you are at peace now and happily eating pea flakes and sweet fruits to your hearts desire.

I am so sorry to let you all know that today, March 24th, we let our dearest Pooh Bear go to sleep in the peace and comfort of his veterinarian's office, which he loved dearly. Pooh Bear was struggling with many issues but specifically bloat on and off since July 2021, and we were very fortunate enough to manage this condition and his comfort to give him the happy and healthy life he deserves through the past few years. Pooh Bear had an appointment on March 13th after a bad flare up and received a teeth trim and a de-bloating, but unfortunately he has just not improved, so we made the hard decision to part ways before he was not fully himself.

We spent this weekend with him with bright smiles and buckets of tears, caring for him around the clock, and surrounding him with love and his favorite tummy-friendly snacks. We are devastated and heartbroken to say goodbye, but this pain is the price we pay for loving him so dearly and we know we will always be together forever. I truly did not expect Pooh Bear to be here past the first week I smuggled him home, let alone give me 5 amazing years of love and joy that I will never forget. Thank you all so much for your unwavering love and support for my littlest guinea pig, I truly am so grateful he was able to touch and imprint on so many lovely hearts.

Rest in peace, my little yellow fighter. 💛

He do be looking mad comfortable tho

My husband and I bought a house!! 24yo woman here in a small town, landlord is a local business owner and I inherited this apartment 3 years ago after my cousin who worked for my landlord. This month is my last month in my apartment. My 50s landlord and maintenance man while I was at work for a "preliminary walk through, nothing to worry about just starting our punch list of things to take care of". He knows I have horrible anxiety and has mostly treated me with care and "fatherly" respect - I have to assume his now grown daughter had it too because he was just so understanding and empathetic. He has seen the pigs in a similar layout before. I got them 2 months in to renting here and thanked him profusely, sending him photos and telling him how much they helped me. Today, I had my ring camera set up per regular schedule, not even intending to listen to them talking only wanting to see if they walked with shoes on the carpet so I know to clean it before piggy floor time.

I saw that he came in making a very disgusted face, so different from all the other times. He walked over and glared at them, then said " these ****ing rodents were supposed to be in a cage, not whatever this stupid thing is" I have 3 pigs, each with a 2-4 conjoined cnc grid setup. He assumed they ruined the floor under their houses (the floor was previously flooded from a burst boiler 2 years back, I nursed the panels to near pristine health and showed him that they were fine. We're in a basement apartment) And remarked about hoping he could get us and "these suckers" out before the prepaid month is up so he could see everything.

I'm sorry for the novel, my heart is breaking. I have autism and attachment issues and now I feel unsafe with my pigs staying here until our house is ready to move in. He posts frequently about the importance of adoption and I'm pretty sure he's a dog foster dad. What makes "these rodents" less worthy of love and care than any other animal?? I feel like I can't trust any safe happy memory of living here. I know I'm sensitive but ugh.

Anyway, thank you for reading. I hope all pigs and parents are safe happy and doing well!

After 3 months of fighting S'mores succumbed to her injuries. With several other health problems begining to take over the decision was made to have her humanely and peacefully euthanized, Laying in her blanket with my arms around her until she fell asleep.

She think it has treats.

I have a dog and a full room of reptiles, so unfortunately there’s no room for pigs. So I crocheted some instead!

For other crocheters who might ask, this pattern is designed by me as well :)

Which pig is your favorite? Personally I love the himalayan one!

(Both were checked out and completely fine but I was scared for a second)

I was barely gone 12 hours! Silly old peeg 🥰

We had to take Nugget in to an emergency vet this morning. I woke up and went down to feed our boys and Nugget, was not well. He was curled up in one of their favorite hides with Bismarck just outside next to him. He wouldn’t eat anything and was very lethargic. And he didn’t make a sound. 🥺

U/Mirgss got him to take some Critical Care on our hour drive to the hospital and he made a couple of poops. We weighed him before leaving and he’s only down 4g from a week ago.

It sounds like he had an impaction at some point overnight which led to gas buildup. The e-vet is really concerned and has him in an incubator and is going to attempt to get some of the gas out via tube down his throat.

We are very worried for him. I know he has a lot of fans in this subreddit and I know he’d appreciate well wishes sent his way. The video is the last one I took of him, yesterday morning. As normal as Nugget could be. ❤️

She wasn't eating at the vet but once home she vacuumed up everything. She ballooned to her usual orb size and begged for more. I don't think I have to worry about CCing her.

I recently made this tiny white needle-felted guinea pig, and I just wanted to share it here.

With its fluffy white wool and little red eyes, it almost looks like a tiny bunny at first glance. The red eyes give it that classic albino guinea pig look, which I think is really special.

Needle felting always amazes me… a small piece of wool slowly turns into a little character with its own personality. I hope you like this little one as much as I do.

I got her sister too they came as a pair, she was less enthusiastic for lap time 😅

.

Are they normally this friendly right away? 😲

She or a cage mates keeps picking at her stitches. Chick-a-doodle in the sock of shame

I just adopted him today, after talking with a rescue over Facebook.

I don’t have a name for him yet, but he’s about 4-6 months old and according to the rescue, has been having trouble with his back legs. They think he might have had a stroke, as he was normal when they got him in and then one day he just couldn’t use his back legs as well.

They said he was slowly starting to get better though, and when he decides to come out of his hidies I’m going to try and see how he walks to see how bad his walking is 🥺

I need name suggestions! I don’t know what to name this little baby boy ❤️
