New Born Pup
I'm looking for some advice please. We had two male guinea pigs from same litter living together. Bought them couple of months ago so around four months old now. Unfortunately my mother let the dog into the garden when guinea pigs were out of hutch yesterday and he attacked and killed one. Was horrible. :-( I know they are social animals and I hate to think of Otis, the remaining one, being lonely. On the other hand I'm concerned that a new guinea pig may be stressful for him if they don't get on. What would your advice be? Do you think we should get him a companion? I did call Pet shop and they told me not to get another as they would fight. I really don't know what to do for the best. Otis is a non neutered male and hasn't seemed overly dominant in the time we have owned him. Thanks for your help. Carly
