My 6 year old guinea pig just died, leaving my 4 year old guinea pig depressed.
Should I adopt a new guinea pig for my current guinea pig? I don't think I should keep her alone as honestly she is timid and not very affectionate as compared to my deceased guinea pig.
And if I do adopt a young guinea pig, I may not be able to care for it throughout it's life because I may be in college in a few years. If that is the case, then should I adopt an older guinea pig? Are there any cons in adopting an older one?
Oh and on a random sidenote, do animals of other species (like rabbits) get along well with guinea pigs? I don't mean live together, but in separate cages. Is it possible for them to keep each other company like that, side by side?
