companion

Hello, I'm new to posting though I've found this forum useful many times so thank you all... Sadly we lost one of our beautiful guinea pigs yesterday and she leaves behind her life companion (4.5 years).

We have a recently bereaved guinea pig who we're keen to find a companion for as soon as possible as he is not doing well on his own. Has anyone had any experience of finding a companion pig during coronavirus? We want to do this in the safest way for everyone/everypig! I have a huge...

Hi all, I was looking for some advice on companionship for my mostly blind boar, Teddy. He's about a year and a half old, and I was told by the RSPCA shelter I rescued him from that he didn't like living with other Guinea Pigs; he was alone because they stressed him out due to him being unable...
