I was thinking that, as I have a 2x8 cage, that I could maybe get a 4th guinea pig to be friends with my 3 pigs (sisters; get along reasonably well, though there are the usual rumblings and the odd low-level dispute over who gets the best house, but nothing major).
My Mum is worried that they wouldn’t get along with another pig, but I’m pretty sure that it is very rare that they do not get along when intros are done properly (neutral area, lots of hay/veg, possible buddy-baths if things don’t work out the first time).
Would it be a good idea? I had a quick look on Gumtree and found a gorgeous single sow. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/sorrento/other-pets/guinea-pig/1094949679
Are there any other things I should consider/have missed out in this post?
