Which are easier male or female guinea pigs?
Either male or female is good. Males are meant to be more tame and grow a bit bigger and two litter-brothers will always be friends, although females do fight a bit more than males because in one season a female is bad tempered and the other female has to keep out of the way ( so she will be lonely). The season occurs every sixteen days, some females never argue though.
Overall I think two males( boars) are the best option!

My new Guinea pig won't eat what do I do?
OK, first make sure that if you have other guinea pigs in the run with it that the piggie that isn't eating can get to the food. Sometimes the dominent one can push the other smaller ones out of the way.
If it can get to the food and still not eating, take it to the vet. It may be suffering from Anorexia (yes, like people can), the vet will do a few checks and your guinea pig may have to be force fed, which isn't as bad as it sounds.
Try looking for a Guinea Pig specialist vet, they know a lot more about them than a normal vet.
Take your guinea pig there as quick as you can before it gets worse.
I hope it gets better!
