Please do! If you have one guinea pig on its own then it will be very unhappy, even if you handle it every day. Guinea pigs are herd animals, and need a companion of the same species to talk to. It may be a bit hard at first to introduce the guinea pigs to one another and to wait for them to become friends, but your pets will thank you in the long run. For tips and advice on how to introduce guinea pigs to one another, then check out the Making Introductions section of our guide.
Guinea pigs need one another for company
If you already have more than one guinea pig, then adding another to your herd may seem a little tricky, especially if yours already get on very well. But don't despair! There are many methods of introducing new guinea pigs that you can try, which many owners have had a lot of success with in the past. You can find several methods in our Making Introductions pages.
