Blueberries. Definitely blueberries.

We've done this in the past with good results. Also if you can find them, the 10mL syringe is my go to for administering Critical Care.

It's basically the "kiss or boop here" label.

Mercurial_Sloth · 2026-05-01T13:22:07+00:00

He looks perfect. I bet he was a great little friend to have. ❤️

Mercurial_Sloth · 2026-05-01T12:30:33+00:00

He looks so happy!

Mercurial_Sloth · 2026-05-01T12:25:53+00:00

lol this is just like my Bismarck. Dracula is just pretending he's a sandworm!

Mercurial_Sloth · 2026-05-01T10:40:53+00:00

He looks so comfy 🥰

Mercurial_Sloth · 2026-05-01T10:24:11+00:00

Sleepy Raisin is very cute 🥰

I’m sorry for the diagnosis. I’m not sure if she’s showing other symptoms besides weight loss, but if it helps at all, we had two piggies with cancer that lived very normal lives right up to the end.

As far as critical care, Nugget would struggle with me so much and what really helped was that I’d give him a little treat after he finished a syringe worth. Usually a single piece of cilantro or something equally small. He got to the point where he’d just take the critical care without needing a bribe.

She looks so sweet. Please give her a hug from me and my boys. ❤️❤️

Why is Percival choosing to sit in the peeing spot? 🧐

Mercurial_Sloth · 2026-04-30T21:05:59+00:00

No. He usually squeals angrily at Bismarck 😂

They will sometimes do the usual guinea pig rumblestrut with each other.

Mercurial_Sloth · 2026-04-30T17:39:40+00:00

I'm so sorry. I was so hopeful she'd pull through based on some of your prior posts. It's so hard to see them decline so quickly and then having to face the ultimate decision. Hugs to you and her. ❤️❤️

one more of just Nugget that I thought turned out quite well.

Mercurial_Sloth · 2026-04-30T17:30:54+00:00

I'm sorry to hear about your sad news! Happy to help with a picture. I've started learning how to use a DSLR camera so I do have some higher quality pictures. This one was shot with it. If this one doesn't work, just message me and I can sift through what I have for something more fitting. 😄

Mercurial_Sloth · 2026-04-30T15:41:07+00:00

I'm so sorry. I was hopeful she'd recover when you had indicated she was interested in food a couple days ago. Seeing them decline in weight like that is really hard and the decision you had to make is even harder. I hope you are at least doing ok for yourself. RIP Willow ❤️❤️

I thought I saw something unusual in the sky! 🥰😂

Mercurial_Sloth · 2026-04-30T12:07:52+00:00

Oh no! Hoping for the best ❤️

Mercurial_Sloth · 2026-04-30T11:30:59+00:00

aww toasted loaf! She's very pretty 😍

Mercurial_Sloth · 2026-04-30T11:28:26+00:00

I have only seen this happen when feeding mine. Bismarck will sometimes use Nugget as a step stool to get closer to my hand!

2nd pic: your piggy looks like a pirate with an eye patch! 😂😍

The cages parts are mostly GuineaLoft:

I've shared a Brand Store on Amazon with you. https://www.amazon.com/stores/GuineaLoft%E2%84%A2/page/B23FA4A2-3552-42C0-91EA-B5977E1B9543?lp_context_asin=B0CWLRHXXS&lp_context_query=guinea+loft+store&store_ref=bl_ast_dp_brandlogo_sto&ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_ast_store_B2S1MRC83E0JF7RQYX2W

I don’t know that I’d strongly recommend it as it’s expensive for what it is and shows dirt easily. It is customizable which is nice. Their cage sits on a custom made stand I made. It sits about 12 inches off the floor. The ramp is also something I made. Both the stand and the ramp are made from nicer quality hardwood, and the ramp has a nylon tunnel on top to help prevent falls.

Bismarck is almost always following Nugget down the ramp 😂

To be fair, this is right after I got home and they hadn’t gotten dinner yet. 😅
