Hi Folks!
I had a male guinea pig for almost 3 years, and about 8 months ago bought a young male guinea pig from PetCo. Hello!?!?! I went to my cage last week, and I had 4 guinea pigs. Lessons learned... you bet.
So now I am the proud parent of 4 piggies. Plenty of room, in fact they have an entire room, hay, snacks, etc., all good in that department.
So what do I do? I can accommodate 4, probably more (GULP!). Do I fix all of the males? Or fix the female? Or separate her from the new 'brood'?
I have recently become fluent in sexing the pigs. Eh hem. Oh, and I am going to make a cage based on what I am finding here. I normally leave the door open and they never bother leaving the room, although they could.
