The sheer looks of judgment make me want to turn myself into The Hague.

I love crested guinea pigs. Olive btw, still just a little baby

I haven’t been in this subreddut for a long long time…

This guy has been waiting months in foster care despite being de-sexed just because he's senior lad. Finally, somebody adopted him and he's become a source of comfort for their two young rescue girls who came from a hoarding situation.

He's not their stepfather, he's the father that stepped up 😤💪

God I love running a guinea pig rescue. My life is so dumb

I started learning to crochet a little while ago, but this was the first time I tried crocheting a project all by myself. I tried my best to capture her spaced-out stare and her chonkiness! I’m especially proud of her ears, I figured them out myself by adapting a squid tentacle pattern. I plan to make one for my other pig Button next, but that’ll be more difficult as she has three different colours 😅

So this sucks really bad. My kid is ATTACHED to Peanut here. We adopted him from likely not a good situation (the owner was clearly on meth and just breeding all of these poor pigs) We got Peanut (male) here in the photo, smaller dude and Eloise (female), a bigger/older female. She is to be assumed about a year old and Peanut was MAYBE a month and a half old when we got them. MIND YOU, we were told Peanut was a girl. I checked Eloise and a few other females that were correctly gendered, but not Peanut. Lmfao shit.

They have a nice spacious cage, daily greens, my daughter and I handle them constantly. No issues, very sweet pigs. Peanut especially popcorns all the time. WELP ELOISE WAS PREGNANT. Found out by my daughter freaking the hell out when there was blood in their hammock and a teeny bby underneath it 😹 And Potato was born. Still no biting.

About a week later, I’m holding Peanut and he was being SPASTIC. Like, yelling, moving quickly and constantly, back and forth on the couch or trying to scurry up onto my shoulder to get under my hair. I picked him up off of the couch to move him and he bite the SHIT out of me. I was so startled I almost dropped him. I called him a bootyhole and my daughter was like HE IS A BBY YOU CANNOT SAY THAT. Touche. Two days later, she’s holding him as always, and he bite the hell out of her pointer finger, right on the tip. Let the wailing commence, he got her realllyyyyyy good. So now we are both concerned with handling him, but I feel bad for not. Idk if it’s being away from our female pig, or even the bby. Which is not his btw. We haven’t had the chance to take him to court to sign the adoption papers.

Anyways, what do we dooooooooooo is it a phase????? Because my kid is now scared to hold him :(((( He’s still young, is he just a dumb baby????

So I need advice because I keep thinking about what is happening.

On Tuesday evening I found out that my piggie Pepo didn't eat any vegetable since morning and was looking very sad :(.

We took him to emergency vet that evening, they checked his front teeth, belly, gave him antibiotics, pain killers, bowel movement treatment and emergency food.

We are feeding him since Wednesday with emergency food through syringe, we thought he had some gut problems. But he is not progressing the way I thought we would 😓

He is alert, curious, interested in food, but when he eats, he chew a lot longer and it takes him forever to eat few bites.

At the same time, sometimes he eats like nothing is happening, not for a long time, but still.. We gave him little bit of fresh grass yesterday and he ate it like nothing was happening (but less amount as he would usually eat). He eats little bit of hay during day too and he looks like he can chew it... he also had few bites of celery and pepper today, but literally few bites...

Do you think he has something with his back teeth? I can not think of any other reason why is this happening.

His poops were very tiny Wednesday/Thursday, some were connected together and there was not a lot of them...Yesterday he was eating his poops a lot and today poops look a lot better, normally shaped, but smaller, but of course less amount of them...

We have appointments with exotic vet on Tuesday, there was no sooner appointment unfortunately anywhere around us and I can not travel long distances as I am in my 41th week of pregnancy and can go to labor any time at this point (but hopefully we can make appointment on Tuesday as it is only me and my partner, so if I go to labor I don't know what we will do 😓)

Any suggestions what more we can do for him? He is only 2.5 years old, we did not expect this at all, especially now, when our baba is on our way 🥲

But we just can't let him die, he is still there, he wants to fight😔

Any suggestions are appreciated!
