Golden Rule of Guinea Pig Adoption
Guinea pigs are highly social creatures! They thrive in pairs or small groups. Consider adopting two bonded guinea pigs together - they'll be happier, healthier, and more entertaining to watch. A lonely guinea pig can become depressed and develop behavioral issues. If adopting a single pig, ensure you have plenty of time for daily interaction and consider finding them a compatible friend soon.
