I have 2 Guinea pigs that will fight if they can touch eachother. So they are in separate cages but their cages are right next to eachother so they can interact without fighting but, I want to put one cage stably above the other for more space but I don’t know if that will make them lonley because they won’t be able to see another guinea pig, even tho they fight if they can touch each other. Or will they be fine even if they don’t see eachother as long as they get everything they need like veggies and stuff?

Guinea pig cages

I’m afraid you cannot put the cages on top of one another when piggies are living as single piggies.
Even though they cannot live in the same cage, they still need each other for companionship and the only way to achieve full communication is with their cages being side by side. A lot of their communication is through body language and pheromones, so if their cages were one on top of the other then they will no longer be able to read each other’s body language or use pheromones effectively (a lot of their communication is through body language and smell) and they will get lonely. I know it takes up a lot more space with them being side by side , but it is how it has to be.
