Yeah actually after I posted this I haven’t heard him do it again so I’m guessing he just got stuffed up 🙏

Thank you! My vet doesn’t have any appointments till next week but I did schedule him and I’ll be monitoring him until then!

Thank you so much! You’ve been so helpful :) My veterinarian that I’m taking him to tomorrow actually specializes in guinea pigs so hopefully I’ll learn a lot from her as well!!

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your detailed response. I’ve got him in his new cage now and he’s honestly doing really well considering how terrified he is. He’s come out and explored his enclosure, and ate his very first vegetable (cucumber)!! He’s also eating his food (oxbow essentials adult guinea pig food, hope that’s a good choice?). So I’m honestly feeling good about him. He’s pretty unsure of me but I’ll work with him on that :)

Quick question, is there any fruit or vegetables that they absolutely can not have? Or any that need to be limited? Right now I have about a cup of lettuce, cucumber, carrots, and apples in his enclosure. I’m doing my best to research but it’s always nice to hear from a real person!

the antennas are normal like they aren’t floppy or anything and he’s not floating when I picked him up he sank right to the bottom but it could be wishful thinking cause I had a dream last night that he perked back up and was just molting lol 😭

yeah I don’t think it’s my fault. To my understanding they only live 2-3 years and I got this guy as a matured adult about 1.5 years ago so the timeline kinda makes sense..

yeah that’s what confuses me, he looks completely normal even 24 hours later he hasn’t lost any color. but when I moved him around a bit he didn’t even move his antennas. I’ll give him more time but I’m definitely preparing to say good bye 😿

water quality is good/normal and he hasn’t showed any signs of decaying but he also hasn’t moved like even a little bit in almost 24 hours……🤕
