Hello,
Long story short I was messing around on Craigslist and found someone selling a guinea pig. I wouldn't have bought him except for the fact that the owner had been keeping him in a small hamster cage for two years by himself and stored him in the closet . There was no way in Hell I planned on leaving him in the care of someone like that. I went against my parent's demands and brought my new pig home. He is now named Maximus Prime.
The problem is that I have two female guinea pigs already. I was planning on getting him neutered, but I read about the death risk and I'm not so sure about it anymore. I was thinking that when he is done being quarantined and has finally become friends with the other two I could move him into the cage with the others. When I leave them or go to bed I could just fix up two panels in between them so that they can interact, but not interact interact. Regardless, when I am home I let them run around the apartment all day so I always have my eye on them.
Is this a good idea or no? I literally bought this fluffy Boi less than ten hours ago, but I'm already attached to him. I don't want him to die from some wack surgery.
