I have had my guinea pig for over 3 or 4 years now, and I seriously dislike him. My mom hyped me into getting one, and being the 8 or 9 year old I was, I accepted. For the first 6 months or so it was pretty fun, but it was exhausting to clean out his cage when he would get poop under the fleece a lot. It was meant for my brother and I, but my brother just never helped, so it was put on me. My dad would help me do a weekly change, but that meant I couldn’t get a second one for him to play with and not be lonely. So I decided to learn how to do the weekly thing myself, and my dad just dumped it on me without even letting me get a second guinea pig. I care about him, and I don’t think anything deserves to live the life he’d currently living, constantly in a 2.5’x 3.75’ cage, but I just have an unbelievable amount of schoolwork and nobody in my house ever helps. Not even my mom, who basically decided to get my guinea pig in the first place. Every time I bring up the possibility of giving them away, my parents say “Ok” but then never give it a second nought, even though I’ve said it several times now.
TLDR: My guinea pig is loud, messy, smelly, and way more work than I can handle. I don’t want to have to deal with him anymore. Should I just wait for him for another potential 2 or 3 years or should I really pressure my parents to give him away, even though I’ll probably be pretty sad?
