I got a guniea pig about a month ago and he is all alone but he never had a partner. I am scared to introduce him with another guniea pig because he never had a partner. Do y’all think that if i get him a partner then he will start squeaking?

Piggies are not wired to live on their own they are a herd animal. It is not as simple as getting another piggie and shoving it in the same cage as your existing piggie. You have to be careful when introducing them. It is very much about character compatability. If you have a rescue near you it is better because your piggy can choose his own friend by going boar dating. Here is our Rescue locator to help you.

Definately & everything they said 
Not all of my piggies "squeak" though- there are a whole range of noises they make but your boy would certainly benefit from company of his own kind.

Hi!
I am sure that he will be chatting with a piggy friend. But it is not quite as straight forward as going out and buying a little pet shop baby with a long term single piggy.
Have you considered playing guinea pig videos so you can see whether he is reacting to the sounds or whether he is no longer considering himself a guinea pig. It sounds like he hasn't had much in the way of human interaction, either.
Please take the time to read these guide links below.
The singles guide tackles the issues that long term single piggies can have and what this means when you want to find a friend.
Both my ex-single adoptees have some social deficits although I have been able to find them company - but it has not been an easy or straight forward journey. The piggy whispering guides help you to interact with your boy in his language and the enrichment guide will hopefully bring out his playful side more.
