Guinea pig died

[Horselover123]

I have 3 guinea pigs but one sadly died two are around 5yrs old both were male. The guineapig left is not eating as much and looks really sad I try and give him lots of attention but have school aswell.
My other guineapig is also male but he’s only 1 so I don’t know wether he would just wind up the other one.
Will my guineapig be ok alone or does he need a friend?

So sorry for your loss.
If I understand correctly you had 3 boars living as a pair and a single.
With the loss of one of the pair you now have a 1 year old single and a 5 year old bereaved piggy.

If they have lived close to each other you may be able to bond them.
Compatibility is more important than age.
Read through the bonding guides on the forum for help and I’m sure more experienced members will be along later.

The piggy in the picture looks gorgeous- is this the one you have lost?

The piggy in the photos looks like it is missing hair. A trip to a vet would be good for him as she can determine whether it is pain related, mite or lice, or barbering.

You need to start weighing regularly @Horselover123 , at the same time. If there is a daily loss of at least 50g or a steady decline then something is medically wrong.
