No, guinea pigs do not like to live alone. When getting a guinea pig, it is best to get two guinea pigs so when you can't give them attention, they have each other to play with. But when you get only one guinea pig, be sure to give it a lot of attention.
But please read this: Do not put 2 males together in the same cage. They will fight nonstop. 2 females will live nice together and a guinea pig can happily live in the same cage with a rabbit. Also, when a guinea pig has babies, be sure to remove the male guinea pig.
well guinea pigs usually should live in pairs, and actually the more the better.
A lone guinea pig would need a heap of time outside the cage each day to fulfill its need for companionship, but if kept with a friend, they will happily socialise with each other during the day when you are not at home.
A 7x3 cage is good for 2 guinea pigs so they have space to move around.
Hope this helped :)
yes - if you step on him yes, if he is lonely or understimulated, ur piggy can get sad. that whole steping on him thing is just stupid. if u stepd on a piggy, it wuld die.
No. All guinea pigs need to be kept in pairs. Do not keep two males even if they are neutered/fixed. You can keep a male and a female. Just spay/neuter/fix one.
I would not recommend you to heal a guinea pig at home. You should bring your guinea pig to a local animal hospital. Healing a guinea pig alone can cause germs going into the guinea pig. That can be harmful for your pet.
Guinea pigs live 3-8 years, but an average life span for healthy guinea pigs is about 5-6 years. A lucky guinea pig can sometimes live up to 10 years! So, a 5 year old guinea pig is getting up there in years, but if properly cared for, can live for a long awhile yet.
A guinea pig would likely live longer.
do you mean like how long they live for .if you do here's how Meany they live for 5 to 7 years not bad for a little guinea pig my guinea pig is not a year old yet
In the wild, Guinea Pigs live in structured social groups. Guinea pigs can live alone in captivity, providing they are given lots of attention on their own terms by humans. That is to say, allow them to relax and feel hidden and safe, but interact with them whenever you can. Preferably, Guineas should be kept in groups of two or more, as they will entertain themselves and feel secure, making them easier to hold.

guinea pigs live 4 to 7 years, if your guinea pig is healthy and safe it can live up to 8 or even 9 years!
a guinea pig.
yes. I had a 2 year old guinea pig and a 6 month old and the were great together.
Your Guinea Pig can live alone, but you need to make sure you provide play time and snuggle time a few hours daily to bond and give your guinea pig stimulation. Have fun with your piggy!
Only the guinea pig she mated with but be sure to separate them after birth
it depends what type of guinea pig you have
Most likely, yes.
