Squeeks

I would assume that would be if you are adopting a female. That is to make sure that they won't get pregnant. It might also just be a template they have for listings and don't chage it, because I know I have seen that too.

Guinea Pigs Social Life

It is perfectly fine to put two pigs together, in fact it is very important that pigs be kept in pairs or more. Make sure to find a rescue or shelter, or from a reliable.non-breeder from craigslist. Also, make sure they are the same sex or one is neutered/spayed.

If you have a male, they tend to get along better when they are different ages anyway. You MUST have at least a 2x4 grid cage for two males or I can almost gaurantee that they will fight. Bickering is normal at first as they will need to establish doiminace but DO NOT remove unless blood is drawn.

Also, before you introduce a new pig make sure you QUARANITNE for three weeks to make sure the new pig isn't sick and possibly passes it to your old one.

OK so we are new at this, somewhat. We've had Squeeks (male) since August last year and he's doing good. Gotten really big. So we are investigating and planning a new cage. Here's the question: My daughter is hounding me for another guinea pig and I know from discussions that they might be too territorial to introduce a new pig to the old one. But since we are planning a bigger and better cage this might be the time to work another one in. Can anyone give me some advice as to whether this might work and how to work the integration? or is this absolutely a NONO?
