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

What does it mean when a baby guinea pig on one side?

Do you mean the guinea pig itself or the guinea pig sticking to one side of the cage. If it self is leaning its body to one side it could be sick or injured so seek medical attention. Or it could just be weak or not strong as the other side of its body or it could be paralysed on one side and thats why it is leaning. If it starts to look sick or looks like it is in pain then thats when you no it is not weak it is probably injured. If it is sticking to one side of the cage it means that it just might of picked a spot to rest or to go to the toilet.
