the reason I want to find two female guinea pigs is I have a male guinea pig, but he is kind of a special case, he has a heart murmore and is on medications for his health issue. When I first found out about all this from veterinarian I told her I really wanted to get him some cage mates since I know how social guinea pigs are. And I thought going along with letting him have a same sex cage mate was the best way to go.
but it was actually her recommendation that I did not get another male, because since he is older he would probably be naturally territorial and she did not know with his health condition if that would be a good thing to do or not.
I thought finding a pair of bonded females that was spayed already (just so as to avoid having babies) or two that were in good enough health to be spayed would be a perfect fit for him.
me and my boyfriend are hopefully moving out of where we are now to a space of our own, and I intend on getting a nice c and c cage for my boy and hopefully getting one that would be good enough size for the girls also but I was also considering the idea of getting another cage just in case the girls would need to have a space of their own.
if this takes me a bit of time to do I don't mind I just want to give my sweet guy something nice in his life since he probably won't have a very long life anyway.
lol if that makes sense
