How old's the 'pig?

( Cawl, Thu 25 Aug 2011, 11:57, 2 replies, latest was 14 years ago)

well that's what I'm hoping to find out
he's not yacking up or anything, but he's skinny and quiet and doesn't have much of an appetite - he only managed half a dandilion leaf this morning. More news as it breaks

That's what happens when they're old.
One of mine went like that, still eating, still drinking, but not as much as he used to, got skinny too. He was just old, it's just what happens.

He's probably dead
They're trying to find one the same colour.

Doing his little 'living statue' routine?

Hmmm...
Sorry if this is a vaguely insulting question, but you do feed him on proper Guinea pig food, right? As in, not rabbit food, or whatever.

Guinea Pig Excel
plus carrots, hay and dandelion leaves.

The other one is a bloater, I thought perhaps he was eating all the food at first

Good!
That's ok then. Some people don't realise about the vitamin C thing.
Then again, some people thing that it's a good idea to keep them in a cage with a rabbit. Some people are fuckin' stupid.

I just realised I misread this as
'how's the pig' not how old. That makes the conversation make more sense now

what are the odds of finding 2 welsh guinea pig fanciers on the same board?

I'm not Welsh.
And I don't really like Guinea pigs. I'm just stuck with this one 'til he dies and I can get something better in his cage.
But yeah, what're the odds?

Shut up Welshy#2
you are every bit as welsh as Cavey and I bet your pig has a name and everything.
