Hi!
In January we adopted 3 young female guinea pigs who are all living happily together (Sprite, Root Beer "Rooty" and Ginger Ale "Ginger"). In February we were shopping at the local petco and noticed a VERY large male who had been there for at least a month and was all alone in his cage. I inquired about him and was told no one would buy him because he is just too big (10 inches at least) and they didn't know what they were going to do with him. So...I took him. I know we aren't supposed to buy from pet stores, but I felt bad for him and was scared for his safety. His name is Leroy and he is a big cuddle bug and we just adore him. But he is alone since he can't be with my females and we make sure to give him plenty of love and he run all over the place in our house. My question is....Do I need to get him a friend? I don't know how old he is, but he is 10+ inches now so I assume not too young. Would he get along with another male? HELP!! Sprite
