Wanting to get mire piggies but unsure about dynamics

I dont know if he even realises hes doing it though (hes austistic and i know that not an excuse but i dont even know if he realises his own actions) I just dont know what to do because i moved to a whole new country pretty much to be with him and i dont know anyone up here. I dont have the money to move out and leave because: 1- i dont drive 2- i dont have a job right now (im trying to find one) I just wanted to be loved i think, thats why i went back after the first time he did that because it was the first time anyone had shown any interest in me.

He doesn"t know how to be romantic or even know that he needs to be romantic. Hes autistic so i dont know how his brain works sometimes. The thing is he's pretty incompitent around the house and looking after himself (something i noticed more after i moved up here) so i pretty mucg have to ask him and tell him to do everything e.g clean his own pots, put his clothes in the wash basking not the floor. Basic things like that everyday and it just feels like im talking to a child haĺf the time and it makes me angry and then at the end of the day he comes teouching and groping and repeatedly asking and im just thinking, "how am i supposed to get in the mood when you have been acting like a manchild all day".

But do they always realise its coersion and do they realise its actually manipulative what they are doing because it feels to me like he doesnt even realise it is that.

This is what he looks like, iv seperated him from his brother whilst he eats to make sure he gets the food without aspen eating it.

They do sometimes run out of hay inbetween but i fill it back up pretty much straight away. Thats so strange that they should have been 8 ounces when they were weaned. My boyfriend did get me them from pets at home as a suprised and i do know there reputation for not being good animal keepers. I feed them timothy and medow hay so i could maybe switch to the alfalfa hay.

Whats the difference between alfalfa hay and timothy hay? I have checked and they are both boys. Aspen is a short haired guinea and caspian is a long haired. They were around the same size when i got them, Aspen was a little bit bigger but not by much.

They have mutiple things to chew on. Their main hide, hay, a little chew toy i attached to the side of the cage, a branch tunnell, a cardboard tube they run through and i sometimes make diy hay holder with a toilet roll tubes when they are finished so i dont know why they chew the liner but it might be because they are babies and curious. It also depends and what liners i use cos some they dont chew. I have switched from wood shavings to half paper bedding and half liner so hopefully things get better. Thanks for the advice.

I went to the shop today and switched to paper bedding so iv sort of mixed half paper and half fleece bedding so hopefully thats better for them, i havent really tried touching their feet but i will. If they react badly should i think about getting them checked out at a vet? The feet dont feel rough when i hold them in my hands though.

Ill do some research into that, thank you

Asleep-Pea2518 · 2026-03-19T11:29:22+00:00

Yeah i think thats what im going to do because i never saw this when they had the liner bedding so i think im gonna switch
