Hello. I am a new Guinea Pig owner, this being my first ever. I have been doing a lot of internet research and have read many things but I wanted some practical feedback from people who have owned Cavies. My main question is about the fact that I bought my Cavy before reading that it is ideal to have at least 2. The problem is, my husband would not be comfortable with me getting a 2nd one and now I'm unsure of what to do. Has anyone here successfully raised 1 Guinea Pig? If so, what tips could you give me to make life enjoyable for my pet? I have quickly fallen in love with him and and am not eager to give him up. By the way, my Cavy is a short-haired male, if that makes any difference.
Another concern I have is that I have noticed him sneezing from time to time. His nose and eyes are clear so I wondered if I should be alarmed by this. Any advice on these two topics would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime, I am looking forward to building a wonderful cage and play area for my new pet. I am certain this site will be a wonderful resource to me.
Thanks,
Jakki
