Question
i think she is bored she just sits in her cadge doing nothing when i let her out she just goes to the corner she just sits there what should i do im asking to get another for her but my Nana does not like them she stays at her house.

Answer
Hello Tori!
Getting her a friend would be a really good idea, as guinea pigs live in packs and usually need a friend!
Also you said she was three weeks old and that is very young to be away from her mom so she may be a little frightened, just remember to cuddle her extra and interact with her alot!
Try putting some toys, like igloos, and wood, maybe a towel in there for her to play with!
Also make sure you are giving her a good quality pellet, preferably Oxbow, Timothy hay, and fresh vegetables!

Hope i helped and feel free to ask any other questions!
