I currently have one guinea pig (his name is Chuck). Last year his brother (Chocolate Mocha), sadly passed away on April 25 2013. Ever since then I have noticed that Chuck has been acting more anti-social, he doesn't like being picked up and he wont come out of his hole.
I know my family as more than enough room and money for another guinea pig (we also have a cat and some fish). But my mother doesn't seem to understand that a guinea pig should be around other guinea pigs. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can help her understand that it would be best for Chuck to have a playmate.
Also, I do all the cleaning of the cages and I also feed all of our pets. (if anyone was wondering)
Thanks!
