Of course you can , don't think that it's going to get lonely or anything , because well... it won't , a guinea pig's lifestyle isn't complex , they concentrate more on food and rest .

Trust me , one guinea pig is a lot of a work for a little animal, you might not think so but it needs a lot of caring. So... basically it'll have you , so it won't get lonely or anything.

Please don't make the mistake of buying a female and a male , unless you put them in separate cages , but it won't change anything because the males will smell the female's presence and it will agitated and excited.

And if you do decide to put them in the same cage , you're gonna end up with 16 guinea pigs like I did , and it's complicated to take care of , and it's just nasty. So please take my advice and get just ONE. If you don't want crazy guinea pigs fighting with each other ( and it will cause deaths ) please fallow this and you'll be fine.

not necessarily; if you leave one guinea pig in the cage with the sick guinea pig, the guinea pig that is not sick can get sick; you should separate them just to be safe but if the guinea pigs start to get lonely, put them back together

Female guinea pig you bought one male and one female rabbit to be its friend why doesnt the female rabbit like the female guinea pig?

Actually rabbits an guinea pigs are fine together. But maybe the female guinea pig is felling lonely being the only kind in the cage. Or maybe its because the rabbit just doesn't like the guinea pig. If it's possible you can try getting another female guinea pig or separating the the guinea pig and rabbits.
