Question
We have just bought a female, about six weeks old, she is very thin compared to our other g pigs at her age. She is lethargic and really doesnt show much interest in food at all. She drinks water. I am concerned for her, do you have any suggestions . Thank you for your time. Sheena

Answer
Hello Sheena,
the best advice I can give you is to go to the vet as it sounds like she is ill. I would also feed her through a feeding syringe. Mash up her food and use warm water or 100% juice and give that to her until you are able to take her to a vet. This is the best help that I can give you.
I hope she gets better soon.
