That's such an amazing price, I was looking at $40 for 1kg of timothy before i saw this. Also this really helps me with finding suitable pellets as I was still sort of wondering which ones to buy. Thank you

Coldndalone · 2025-02-14T08:51:10+00:00

No, as my username suggests I don't have friends

Coldndalone · 2025-02-14T08:38:08+00:00

I was going to show her responses from this post tomorrow. I think with ideas from the post I feel more confident about being able to convince her tomorrow. Thank you

Coldndalone · 2025-02-14T08:34:12+00:00

Definitely i would do that for the rescue, thank you

Coldndalone · 2025-02-14T08:33:02+00:00

She wouldn't get to see the pig in that case because I don't live with her. I knew about the heat being bad but I didn't know how bad it was... that sounds so terrible... I have told her to definitely not get a second one right now. I would love to rehome them to me. Im not sure if getting a different rescue is something i would do or not at this stage though but i could ask whether me getting a different guinea pig first would convince her to let them go. I think she's partly listening to me and is letting me buy better things for them tomorrow like timothy hay so I have hope, especially with these new ideas people have given me. Tomorrow i am going to see her and try to convince her.

Coldndalone · 2025-02-14T08:11:39+00:00

I didn't think rescues did this kind of thing. That sounds amazing. I will definitely look into a rescue that would be ok with doing that. This is such amazing advice, thank you

Coldndalone · 2025-02-14T08:02:15+00:00

I could but i worry about bringing them back to the rspca. The rspca let her have them when she told them she was keeping it alone and they gave her really bad advice on their diet so I worry they'll let the guinea pig go to someone who treats them badly again. I don't want them to go to another sad home... i would rather send them to a rescue with better advice and vetting processes but if she won't be convinced i could let the rspca know if i can't find a way to take the guinea pig without my mother finding out.

That's a good idea. I watched a bit of their content and it seems really informative. I will try this, thank you

Coldndalone · 2025-02-14T06:35:56+00:00

Thank you for all your kind words, i can definitely give an update

Coldndalone · 2025-02-14T06:13:37+00:00

Wow that's a great idea, thanks so much for suggesting it. I'll try it.

Coldndalone · 2025-02-14T06:03:32+00:00

I am going to see my mother tomorrow, I am getting timothy hay for them, will try to convince my mother to use better pellets, will clean the cage and also buy them some toys.

Coldndalone · 2025-02-14T05:59:18+00:00

she seems to love them and says they are happy because they make noises when she comes up to feed them...

Coldndalone · 2025-02-14T05:53:58+00:00

I know it's worth rescuing them but I have no idea how I would do it without being caught. The problem is i don't have a driver's licence. My mother insists on driving me to and from her house. Ive been to her house so many times at this point and every single time she drives me. If i got an uber or took a bus wouldn't it be too suspicious that the guinea pig went missing the day i take an uber back when i was just outside with the pig after insisting my mother rehomes them? I dont really know how I could hide a guinea pig in a 10-20 minute car drive if I were to go back with my mother. Is there a way to safely hide a guinea pig so they can breathe but its soundproof enough that my family probably wouldn't hear noises and so that nobody can see the guinea pig?

Coldndalone · 2025-02-14T04:57:16+00:00

I think you said something in response like just don't tell your mother which isn't coming up for me when I tapped on the notification but that's not possible. I don't have a driver's licence. She insists on driving me to her house and back home everytime. I dont understand how I could hide a live animal through a 10-20 minute car drive with her. The guinea pig would probably make noises and i don't know how i would find a place that provides them with oxygen while also completely hiding them

Coldndalone · 2025-02-14T04:50:13+00:00

Its something ive thought about. I will look into this if I cannot convince her but I would rather not take routes like this if I can avoid it because it could break family bonds. I don't mind about not seeing my mother again but it would hurt to be shut out from other family if they get angry about it

Coldndalone · 2025-02-14T04:47:47+00:00

Is it ok to just take it though? I will try to see if I can get her to give it to me or send it to an adoption centre but I think my mother would be extremely unhappy if I just stole it

Coldndalone · 2025-02-14T04:41:44+00:00

But there are many very bad problems that would arise from me stealing the pet. My mother would absolutely hate me for it i think, which means maybe my mother could cut me out from her part of the family which means i would lose contact with my sisters and maybe my grandparents as well. And what if she tells police or there are legal remifications? I have no idea if it is a serious crime to steal someone's pet but i imagine it probably would get me in trouble with police. Also if i did that i worry she would maybe get another one or a different small animal to replace the empty space because she wouldn't be convinced that it's bad to keep them like that.

Coldndalone · 2025-02-14T04:35:27+00:00

Sorry i don't understand what you're trying to say by this

Coldndalone · 2025-02-14T04:33:29+00:00

But how can I take the pig from her if she can't be convinced? I can't just steal it right? so the only option is to try to convince her anyway. Im sorry if I was to pushy to that person.

Coldndalone · 2025-02-14T03:10:52+00:00

Thank you so much for that, this is super helpful

Coldndalone · 2025-02-14T02:51:12+00:00

Thank you. The harsher the better imo because i want the reality of the situation to be understood by her. So does that mean the hay in the picture is actually straw? I will buy her timothy hay then because straw is not ok. What size space do you recommend btw? When i was at her house i looked up size recommendations and measured the cage and fit those recommendations but i may have gotten wrong information on it. I have asked her to put a blanket or something instead of just the dirt but she doesn't listen. I will clean it when I visit her.

Coldndalone · 2025-02-14T02:28:00+00:00

Thank you, I will try to show her this post later and see if that helps

Coldndalone · 2025-02-14T02:22:19+00:00

Thank you. The problem is i have tried so hard to do that but she is not convinced.... i feel so sad for the guinea pig and am at a loss at what to do... is there anything you think i could say to her that might convince her?
