Question
my piggy died very recently, he was 4 years old :(. i live in a flat and have no where to bury him, i was just wondering what i could do and what is an appropriate way to deal with his body :(. also is 4years a young age for a guinea pig to die?

Answer
It's a little young but not terribly so as the life span is 5-7 years.  Try calling a vet as they oftentimes have ways to dispose (often though cremation) of animals as it's illegal in most places to simply throw them away.  Sorry to hear about your loss,
