Hello, long time lurker, first time poster here.
I took on a guinea pig last year when house sitting for someone who kept him in bad conditions (due to lack of knowledge, not on purpose), his partner had recently died, so I adopted a second male guinea pig and introduced them eventually and all went well. They occasionally rumble strut and squeak at each other but never fight, although Adam (1st piggy) is blind, so is slightly more vulnerable, can’t use ramps, not interested in tunnels and is very old, so can’t run around and play. Ralph (2nd) is very sociable and playful and I’ve always felt like he doesn’t get enough interaction from Adam.
I was wondering how risky is would adding a third guinea pig be? My cage is 180 x 90 cm with a 90 x 60 loft.
I was in pets at home looking in the adoption center and there is a single male guinea pig who’s been in the shop a while. He walked right up the the glass and squeaked at me yesterday and now I feel like I need to take him home with me and give him a happy life !
So it it possible or not worth the risk ?
