Hello, I am new to guinea pigs and this forum!
I started wanting to get a guinea pig about three months ago and I started to do extensive research on what I would need for it. I found out that they should be kept in pairs so I decided I would get at least 2. After months, I have finally found one guinea pig that I will be adopting this upcoming September. However, he is a male. The other two bonded guinea pigs that I was thinking of getting are females.
I want to get all three of them because they do need homes and there are not a lot of adoptable piggies here. But I also don't want them to breed. I was wondering if it was okay to keep all three of them together but keep the boar separated by some grids? I don't want him to be solo but I am also a little scared to get him neutered because I heard it is really risky. And I am not sure there are vets in the area that have done guinea pig neuters. Any advice would help immensely. Thank you!
