Hi, I know that this is a question that has been asked on the forum before, but I would like to know others experiences with this, and my options. I have two male guinea pigs that are bonded, and have been together their whole lives. I adopted them five months ago today. At the shelter that I adopted them at, there is another single male guinea pig. He has been there since before I adopted my piggies and I want to give him a loving home. The shelter does not have a policy that you have to have multiple piggies, and after seeing how happy mine are together, I don't want him to have to live alone. These are some of the things I could do that I have in mind:
Plan A: Before I adopt him, I could do a bonding session with my piggies. I realize that this almost never works, though. Has anyone had any luck with this before? If so, how did you do the introduction? If the bond with my piggies breaks, will they ever bond again?
Plan B: If plan a doesn't work, or if it's too much of a risk, I could have an extra cage for him of the appropriate size. I don't have enough room to put the cage next to it, but I could do a stacked c and c cage type of thing. If I do this, realize that I would have to get another piggie to be his friend. I'm not sure if it is a good idea to have four piggies, seems like quite a lot.
That's all I have in mind, Let me know if you have a better idea.
