I'm new to this and have a few questions, about if my Guinea Pig is happy or not?(:

Welcome!
One thing to do is just sit by the cage and talk quietly to him, and he'll come out and do his normal thing. Another pig is the best way for pigs to be happy, a win-win thing! A big cage is next on the list, being held, having veggies and floor time are next!
My pigs have been with me about 6 months now, and sometimes still scuttle away into a hidey, but when I kneel and look into the cage, the are bold and happy and stiff my nose.
Popcorning tells you if they are happy, it s a moving in which the pig jumps into the air and kind of twists, it looks like popcorn popping since they do it so fast and at unexpected moments!

Welcome again and We'd love to see some pigtures of your buddy! What's his name?

Since @Gforcepiggies already mentioned some bonding ways,I have some other things to mention.
Unless he prefers being a loner,(not accepting ANY other pigs) you could get him a friend? Pigs are herd animals and do not exactly bond with humans the same way a dog,cat,or horse would do. You could also get hima C&C cage. Do show us pigtures of your furry friend!

To help with stopping him running to hide when you go in the room I talk to mine as I walk upstairs so they can hear me coming! Yes this makes me sound mad but this way by the time I am in the room they are busy smelling the air to see what food I brought them! Lol xx

@Gforcepiggies @bubblepig

Make sure that the friend you get him is also a boy (and check the sex of your current one, just to be safe.

You'll also need to quarantine the new piggy for 2-3 weeks in a different room to make sure he isn't sick or has any parasites before introducing them.

And when you do introduce them, make sure it's on neutral territory. Guinea Pigs Social Life

Since you'll be getting them a C&C I recommend making it either a 2x5 or a 2x6 for 2 boars. They tend to need more room than females do and the extra room usually helps a lot when they're sorting out dominance.
Hope this helps a little.

Also, your piggy is SUPER cute!

He is so flipping cute! I could just eat him up! Not really, I wouldn't eat him but he is just so dang cute! He looks like he is just posing for the camera, ready for his photoshoot! Lol!! Best of luck getting his new buddy! I hope they get along great!

Hello, how beautiful?? cant wait to see him with his new friend and look forward to hearing how you and your beautiful piggy(s) are getting on X
