Hello, recently I had a guinea pig pass away leaving his cage mate Gus all alone. Gus has been handling it very well and the only behavioral change is that his a bit more skidish than normal. But none the less I will definitely be getting Gus a new buddy. The only problem is my nearest rescue that takes in small animals is 3 hours away. I really want to adopt but it is very hard to find guinea pigs in my area. I had to drive 1 hour just to get Gus and Fin(passed away). They were from a local store that only got a couple guinea pigs at a time from a breeder. I’m not in a huge rush to find a pig as Gus isn’t showing signs of depression but I would still like to get him a friend by the end of the month. I am checking in with my “local” (1 1/2 hours away) Petco to see if they get in any for adoption. So I was wondering if any one had any ideas for what my best bet would be. And if it comes down to it has anyone had better success with Petco or Petsmart with guinea pigs? Again I really don’t like supporting those stores and won’t even buy supplies from there but in the end it’s my guinea pig’s health and happiness that is getting put befor my beliefs. Thank you for your time and all suggestions are appreciated
