It is reccomended that guinea pigs live in pairs or more. it is ok for you to only have one but only if you have the time to socialise and communicate with him/her. many people that own one guinea pig say that it is easier to build a strong connection and happy relationship with your guinea when it is on its own.
please be aware that if left alone and not petted, socialised with or given floor time a lone guinea pig will become very depressed. Make sure you have enough spare time to spend with your piggy if you choose to get one.
Also try to find a guinea pig that is already living alone as taking a guinea pig away from its siblings can be saddening and stressful.
I would also recommend that you get a male guinea pig if it is to live alone as they cope much better with living alone.

Is it ok to put a pregnant guinea pig with a non pregnant female guinea pig?
When I got my guinea pig, we didn't know she was pregnant, so about a month later, my sister got one that wasn't pregnant. It was a little less that a month after that that my guinea pig had 2 babies. During that time, though, Molly, the pregnant guinea pig, was acting very territorial, and Milly, the non pregnant guinea pig, was staying by herself and not having anything to do with Molly. So make sure that if you put a pregnant guinea pig with a non pregnant guinea pig, that the non pregnant guinea pig is a girl, or else there WILL be trouble.

Not if a guinea-pig eats it, as you have put in the question. It's okay if a guinea-pig chews a piece of fabric, because it will grind their teeth down, which is a good thing.
