Guinea pigs are social animals. While they can live on their own, they are best kept in a group of at least two animals.
When one of two Guinea pigs dies, the surviving one has at times been reported as "bored" and "not motivated." Whether such behavior steams from sadness over the loss of the former partner or from lack of social stimulus is not known, but the surviving individual has been seen suffering from syndromes similar to loneliness.
Tales of one death being quickly followed by the second are not rare, and sometimes linked to the initial Survivor's loss of interest and will to live. However, it is also possibly sheer coincidence, given that a pair pf Guinea pigs often is of the same age, subject to the same stress factors, nutrition and care, and will typically share the same infections and parasites, if any.

guinea pigs squeak when your holding them and there are no other guinea pigs in the house because they get lonely and even a bit scared so they squeak trying to get comfort or even just to talk.
Guinea pigs don't have pouches. Sugar gliders and other animals do, guinea pigs are NOT one of them.
Biased thinking person.

no you most certainly do not. guinea pigs are not like other mammals.
your guinea pigs should already know the others male.if you want to breed then keep them alone for a while.
no, guinea pigs cannot live with these animals, and yes, guinea pigs will be hurt by wild mice. guinea pigs should live with other guinea pigs, and wild mice should stay wild.
Some people in South America do, because they find wild Guinea Pigs there (South America is where guinea pigs originate from). Other than that, I don't think guinea pigs are eaten in any other main countries.
Guinea pigs are herbivores, so they will not eat other guinea pigs. However, they can sometimes get into fights when they are first introduced. Make sure that you supervise them carefully. If your looking for how to introduce two new guinea pigs,
Guinea pigs like celarie and fruits and other vegies! (P.S. no grass can be posioned!)
