QuestionHello, I bought our first cavie about six weeks ago. He is doing very well but we thought we'd get him a playmate so he wasn't lonely. The gal at the store said they may fight and not get along. Mine is about 3 months and the one we want is about a month. Is this a good choice or do they need companionship? Before I invest in a cage suited for two I want to be sure this isn't a bad idea!! Thanks so much. Lauren
AnswerHello Lauren,
I think getting two guinea pigs is a great idea!! The one month old guinea pig should fit fine. Guinea pigs do better with a partney, they are more active, lively and a lot more fun to watch. It is best to get them when they are young. Here is a link that has lots of information about guinea pig companionship.

Good luck. :)
