I'm going to adopt another little boy so my Clooney isn't lonley, but i had a few questions. I heard somewhere that you need to keep the new guy quarantined for a little bit, for how long? Also how should I introduce them?

Here is info on quarantining Guinea Lynx :: Quarantine

You don't need to quarantine if you are getting the new guinea pig from a reputable rescue but you do if it is from an animal shelter or private party.

You introduce them according to the guidelines here Guinea Pigs Social Life

I always quarantine. I adopted Willow from Critter Corral in Chicago. I was considering putting her in with my other girls at 2 weeks. I had Willow out and she belted out 2 huge sneezes so I decided to watch her for another week. I'm going to try to put them all together this week sometime.
