Wise Old Thumper
Although my MH has come on in leaps and bounds I'm really worrying about the bunnies and guineas when I go back to work. In the past I've been able to manage completely fine but in the past 6/7 months I've really been struggling to look after them.
I've gone down to reduced pay at work so don't really have the money to feed them and enjoy life. All my money is going on hay, megazorb, pellets, veg etc. I am then forced to stay inside of an evening/weekend. This is then starting to bring my MH down and as a result I'm almost starting to resent them somewhat.
I had a long talk with my pysch and explained that at the moment it doesn't really feel like there is any pros of having them as I'm not enjoying looking after them. She suggested possibly rehoming them. In part I agree with her. When I go back to work I think I'm just going to be so overwhelmed knowing that I have to come home, sort out the animals, eat and then back to bed as I have to take my medication at 8 if there's any chance of me getting up in the morning. Changing my medication so I get more of an evening is not an option, as it is working wonderfully for me bar the sedating properties.
The thought of rehoming them though really makes me feel awful and as if I've failed, it also fills me with guilt. In the same breath though I don't know whether I'm really giving them everything they need attention wise.
I don't even know if I'd be able to rehome them as there's two trios and a five strong guinea heard.
I just don't know what to do, it feels like a lose/lose situation either way.
