It can be beneficial for guinea pigs to have companionship, but introducing a new friend should be done gradually and under close supervision to ensure they get along well. It's important to provide a safe and comfortable environment for both guinea pigs to prevent any bullying or injuries. Observing their interactions and behavior can help determine if they are compatible as friends.
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.
Guinea pigs were first introduced as domestic pets by traders in the Netherlands in 1670.
yes, guinea pigs are called caveys.

Usually, unless their personalities aren't compatible. I introduced a younger guinea pig to my older one, and it's going fine. If they nip at each other a little when they first meet, don't worry. It doesn't necessarily mean they won't get along.
If you only have one guinea pig get him/her another guinea pig friend of the same gender. It could be lonely.
no just as lone as they are played with lot
No, I doubt it. I do have a friend who has a rabbit and guinea pig in the same hutch but guinea pigs are more friendly to there own species; especially if they're from the same litter.

Another guinea pig! Guinea pigs are herd animals and most love to be together. Make sure you get 2 of the same sex though!
You can't ... you must have a boy and a girl. So ... buy another, borrow one from a friend, rent one. Your choice.
Not necessarily, though it is highly recommended to keep at least two guinea pigs. If you can handle and play with your guinea pig at least one hour a day, though your guinea should be fine.
As soon as the male serves the hens then the eggs should be fertilised.
When the US was a british colony.
They can get along fine. Best bet would be to get another female rabbit though. Or you could just get her some toys and treats as rabbits do fine by themselves.
Yes you can get a guinea pig from a friend. Make sure the guinea pig is healthy first. To See if a guinea pig is healthy you look at its eyes and nose make sure there is no goop around the nose or eyes. ♥
