You had two Guinea pigs and one died do you buy another or a rabbit?

You should probably get another guinea pig of the same gender and age, maybe from an animal rescue centre. Don't get a rabbit, though, because while some rabbits and guinea pigs are great friends, most fight and the guinea pig often dies because the rabbit tries to mate with it. Rabbits are much stronger and more aggressive than guinea pigs so don't put them in with each other for the guinea pig's sake.

well i think its ok for them to have sex because me and my older brother did and if humans can why not guinea pigs Yes... but is it a good idea to let them? I'm sure someone else will expand on this. guinea pigs can deffinantly mate with their brothers and sisters. it is a good idear to let them because when guinea pigs find their mating partner the male might kill the female of the babies but whenh they are brother and sister they have grown up together and are used to each others company!
