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.
What else can I help you with?
Can you heal a guinea pig alone?
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.
How old would a guinea pig be in guinea pig years if it was 5 years old?
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.
Is there a test to tell if a female guinea pig is pregnant?
Yes, a veterinarian can perform an ultrasound or X-ray to confirm if a female guinea pig is pregnant. It is not possible to accurately diagnose pregnancy in guinea pigs through physical examination alone.
Can a guinea pig live even he or she is alone?
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.

Is it ok to only have one guinea pig?
It is reccomended that guinea pigs live in pairs or more. it is ok for you to only have one but only if you have the time to socialise and communicate with him/her. many people that own one guinea pig say that it is easier to build a strong connection and happy relationship with your guinea when it is on its own. please be aware that if left alone and not petted, socialised with or given floor time a lone guinea pig will become very depressed. Make sure you have enough spare time to spend with your piggy if you choose to get one. Also try to find a guinea pig that is already living alone as taking a guinea pig away from its siblings can be saddening and stressful. I would also recommend that you get a male guinea pig if it is to live alone as they cope much better with living alone.
