Junior Guinea Pig
So we bought two females in November, one of which turned out to have been pregnant and gave birth on 24th January this year to one female and one male. After a few weeks we obviously had to separate the male, Pinky, from the ladies...
When the babies went for a check-up soon after their birth, the vet told us that he could be neutered when he reached 5 months or was big enough. He is now nearly 7 months (weighs just over 1kg) and we are considering getting him neutered so he can interact and be with the ladies. He bites and gnaws the bars and looks into their cage a lot and so psychologically we thought it might help him. We are a bit wary of having him neutered because we know it can be risky. Does anyone have any advice or personal experience they could share?
Thank you! I've posted a photo of him below![smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60a.png)
