Our guinea pig died today


I don't think we served him well. He was a companion pet for our bunny, but we likely messed up on his diet (calcium deficiency, most likely).

My wife took it really hard. We were bad guinea pig parents. I've never had one before.

poor guy.

Requisat in Pace

1. I'm very sorry about your loss.
It sounds as if you are trying to find the silver lining by learning about what is best to do in the future. That's a very good thing.

4. Oh so sorry...
Guinea pigs are very sweet little creatures, we had a pair that wouldn't stop breeding, and the moma died from having too many litters. :cry: The papa lived on for another 3 years. My mom took him.

RIP Requisat. :hug:
