How do you know if your guinea pigs like you?

well one thing is that your guinea pig would not run from you in a cage and would not bite you. My sister's guinea pig always squeaks when it hears something familiar of my sister. Like, the certain squeaky sound that her door makes. Also when she walks by. Another thing is that Trixi (the guinea pig) chatters or purs when my sis pets her, but only when my sis pets Trixi.

Is it good to have one or two guinea pigs?

Yes. But It's best to know that they will most likely not get along at first. To fix that you will have to keep them in the same cage for about 2 weeks (It will give them time to show who is dominant). But otherwise, yes, guinea pigs do get lonely and should always have a friend. WARNING: NEVER GET YOUR GUINEA PIG A FRIEND AND THEN GIVE IT AWAY, THE GUINEA PIG WILL GET LONELY AND START BEING DEPRESSED AND MAY STOP EATING.
