QuestionMy husband and I adopted our guinea pig from a local shelter. We
hold him and play with him daliy, but I havd heard that they get
along better in pairs. Is there truth to this and is it too late to add
another one --he has been in his own space since March.
AnswerThanks for adopting!
It isn't too late to add a buddy. I recommend having a large enclosure (www.guineapigcages.com) and adding a younger male if yours is an adult or vice versa.

If there is a rescue near you, they can help you match them up.
