Question
Hello I have a male guinea pig he is a year and a half old. I would like to get another one but I have heard so many stories that he might fight with the baby one im not sure what is true, I would like to keep them togather if possible.Also is it nessasary to have them neutered? any information would be helpful

                 Thank you Mary  

Answer
If the cage is big enough and you have two of everything, you should have no problems.
Please look into local rescues and shelters to see if they have cavies that need to be adopted, many do. They do not need to be neutered.
