I got 2 female guinea pigs about a year ago and they are the best of friends. I chose to get the 2 because of their need to socialize. My neighbor surprised me the other day. She bought me a baby guinea pig who happens to be a male as a thank you for babysitting. I in no way wanted a 3rd pig especially a male! she did tell me if i didnt want him she will keep him, but she has a cat and a 2 year old that is not gentle with her other animals…i just dont think the pig would stand a chance. So I decided ill keep him but have no idea what to do with him. My 2 females love the baby and seem to be mothering him when i bring them together to play but the girls are past the breeding age and it would be life threatening for them to get pregnant. I dont want to house him alone and when i do the girls left their pen and got him out of his and took him to theirs. Im not sure how but they did it but they did none the less. what are my options? if i keep seperate housing can i allow them to have time to socialize together safely If its supervised? Is fixing the male an option so they can be housed together safely? Please help!!!!! i don’t want to get another male so he wont be lonely…this is a prime example why you shouldn’t buy pets for other people.
