Of corse! guinea pigs are very smart, large enough to not get lost, they are incredibly cute!!!! they love their owner. their needs are not overly complicated. When they begin to trust you.. they don't run away when playing with them.
Not unless you have plenty of time and money.

∙ 14y agoIt all depends, If you have a male guinea pig, buying another male will cause nasty fights between them. And if you buy a female to put in with a male or visa versa, you're going to end up with little guinea pigsEVERYWHERE!
However if you do have a female guinea pig and were looking at buying another female, it will actually double your pets life span, and will help decrease stress! 2 females are unlikley to fight.
Actually, You can have two males together because sometimes two males will not fight unless there is a female in with them

∙ 15y agoYou can get a friend for your guinea pig after her companion dies, but if you have a male, you should be very careful. Male guinea pigs can be aggressive, and introducing a new male to an old male's cage could result in fighting.
Check out www.cavyspirit.com for a how-to guide for introducing new guinea pigs, including warning signs of aggression and ideas to ease the transition.
Guinea pigs are social animals, so I applaud you for keeping them in pairs!

∙ 15y agoIt is my recommendation that you should get more then one guinea pig if you aren't around very often to give it lots of love. Guinea pigs are very social animals and therefore need a companion. If you decide to get another pig MAKE SURE, BE POSITIVE that it is the same sex. There have been countless cases where owners end up with male and female and don't know it then end up having babies. Check and Check Again!

∙ 12y agoYou can have 1 but they aren't very good solitaire animals. I only have one and I'm trying to get another one but it isn't working out. I would consider getting atleast two of the same sex. They are much happier with a buddy (:

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.

Is it ok to put a pregnant guinea pig with a non pregnant female guinea pig?
When I got my guinea pig, we didn't know she was pregnant, so about a month later, my sister got one that wasn't pregnant. It was a little less that a month after that that my guinea pig had 2 babies. During that time, though, Molly, the pregnant guinea pig, was acting very territorial, and Milly, the non pregnant guinea pig, was staying by herself and not having anything to do with Molly. So make sure that if you put a pregnant guinea pig with a non pregnant guinea pig, that the non pregnant guinea pig is a girl, or else there WILL be trouble.
Are raisins good for guinea pigs?
No you should never give raisins to guinea pigs they will die if you do. Only feed them guinea pig nuggets or other guinea pig food especially for them or fruit and vegetables but don't give them runny foods like tomatoes.
