Question
HI my name is lexi, My question is if it would be ok if i buy a female guniea pig to breed with one of my male guniea pig. Would that be mean at all. Hope u can help me. lexi

Answer
Lexi --

It is certainly acceptable to buy a female to breed with your male, provided you have the space and ability to take care of the extra animals that will come from breeding (because remember, the babies have to stay with their mother for several weeks after being born before they can be weaned and given away or sold.)

Hope this is helpful.  If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact me again.
