Should Guinea Pigs Travel Alone?

[BasicPiper]

So tonight my piggy Kevin has her first vet visit ever. Should I take her sister Meg too even though it's only Kevin whose being looked at? Will it help Kevin if Meg is with her or does it not really matter?

Thanks

Yes, please take both next time you see a vet; they are happier and less stressed if they are together.
I call my companion piggies "paw-holders".

i always take both to the vets and if one needs to stay, they both do

Personally for me it depends. I took my two singularly today. The carrier I use will only fit one piggie in and would be very tight with two. I was only taking her for something very simple and the nearby vet was minutes from my house so I took her alone - along with a bonded boar who is five years old and is not bothered by travelling and chilled out. His cage mate on the other hand would be very freaked out if I took him to accompany his five year old friend.

I think it all depends on the piggie you have.
