My Guinea Pig is about to complete his first month now. There are a few questions though Autumn is coming and so is Winter right now I need help on how should i Proceed and I want to know if this is good. So My Guinea Pig is living fine I think he has start Wheeking when he hears the Fridge open. I havent played with him much as I want him to get very Comfortable so I have not Identified the Sex of my Guinea Pig yes as it hates to be held so its hard to find out. My Friend told me I should get a glove and put my hand under him and check if he has a a bump. The problem is it's very complicated as he hates being held when I get him out the cage I let him get in his Fleece tunnel or house and put him down on the floor while i clean he stays there the whole time. I've also noticed that my Guinea Pig only likes coming out If i cover his cage with something. He will then start Eating, Drinking, Popcorning and everything that most Guinea Pigs do. I plan to take him to the Exotic Vet to get his/her nails trimmed so I can learn and also get her/him a Check Up. Now here is my Problem I don't think I can get my Pig a friend till Spring or Summer Cause as Winter rolls on my Dad doesn't work as much and like he works out of town and works outside Rain and Snow in the Winter makes are income less. Also my house is very cramped and I'm worried if it's a Boar we won't have space to make them happy. Also he's living a Pet Store Cage right now but he is getting a Play Pen soon it should come soon as I've ordered it. My Parents also are on a Tight Budget and I hope my Guinea Pig doesn't die of Depression When we got him he was in a Group of 10+ Yes more than 10 I am thinking of getting a Baby in Spring but I don't know What should i do
