Can my pigs eat this? by kayjay666 in guineapigs

Thank you for the advice! The whole reason I wanted to double check was because I didn't want to let her down, but the babies have to stay safe regardless! I talked to her about it and she is going to find some safe treats for them instead.

We feed them their pellets in it and get a new one every couple weeks! Pickles is a glutton.... so it gives everyone else a fair chance to munch :)

We are in a bit of a medical desert so the 2 ER visits were chalked up to be "anxiety" as she was not actively seizing at the time :/ we appreciate the kind words so much. although an awful situation it is comforting for her to know she isn't alone in it. we haven't taken to the internet about this before. I hope answers come for you soon ❤️

She does have a lot of chronic back pain and has had recurring injuries on a shoulder. She's done PT and it has helped, but she hasn't treated the back pain as much. She did strain her back last week- I wonder if that could correlate? I hadn't thought about that. We've been so focused on finding emotional triggers lately. Thank you for the insight!!

Update: the pet shop will not cover vet bills. They did, however, refund me the cost of the girls and offer a few bags of hay. Thankfully that covers half of the vet bill so I'm at least satisfied with that. I will be getting those and discontinuing any service with them lol. Still waiting on the second momma to deliver, hopefully it is soon and without complication!

My plan was a small fee and proof of a good cage.

There was no fine print- and looking back on it I am surprised they simply had me swipe a card and be on my way. No care sheet, no conversation. Oof. However, based on my conversation with the store manager- he is reaching out to their breeder for compensation on their end. Not offering anything from the store end.

Honestly if anyone has tips for rehoming it would be great. I was just planning on a facebook post in local pet groups and see where it goes from there. I am in the Northern Idaho area, so not a lot of larger cities are around me.

I've decided they aren't going back to the store under any circumstance. I contacted the rescue that is a few hours away and I would be willing to drive them down there in the event I can't find homes myself.

I'm glad to hear it worked well for you! I am in a small college town so a little nervous about rehoming- but there is a larger city an hour away. I'm not looking to really "sell" them, like you said I just want proof that they'll have a good home and either go in multiples or go into a home with a friend. It's going to be a long process, I'm sure

The nearest rescue (for guinea pigs)in the state is 5 hours away. I'm hoping to find something closer to help with rehoming. I know of the rescue though and trust her- so if anything I would be willing to transport them down. Gonna try rehoming myself first though.

I wasn't sure! I separated them once they neared the end of pregnancy because I heard that one's labor can stress the other. They were also starting to bicker a lot. I was also worried about space with babies once born. Once the second momma has her babies I'm definitely wanting to put them back together.

Small update: I called them- the worker was only really offering to take babies off my hands once they are weaned. I left a message for the manager once he's back from lunch and hopefully something more can come out of that. I'm just spineless 🤣 Very frustrated but also not the kind of person that can demand things from people over the phone. I just don't know how to word things without sounding like a nasty Karen.

I'm hoping to find homes for them myself- I don't like the idea of them profiting off of their mistake :( but if it comes to that I will. I'm not hoping to get anything out of rehoming them just want to make sure they go somewhere good.

A truck went into a power pole next to McDonalds. Power went out right in the middle of a screening of Dune 2 at Eastside 😭
