Hello,
I recently convinced my parents to let me get a guinea pig. I tried to explain to them that guinea pigs are very social animals and I would need two, but they wouldn't listen and told me that if I wanted a guinea pig, I would have to just get one. They had a guinea pig 10/15 years ago and she was by herself and they claim she was fine. Then again, they hardly ever let her get floor time and they had an 8 year old boy living with them, but that's another story.
If I give my guinea pig tons of attention, will he be OK by himself, or should I keep trying to convince my parents, and how should I do it?
