Is it best to get a new pig or leave Snake on his own?
Unfortunately, we woke to find one of our guinea pigs (Mash) dead this morning. Now we only have one pig (Snake). Even with Mash, Snake was quite shy and it was obvious he followed Mash and was made confident by Mash. I'm wondering if we should get another pig as I've heard that they can die of loneliness. We've been thinking of getting a rescue pig but Snake is quite big and male so I'm worried about them fighting. Is it best to get a new pig or leave Snake on his own and if needed how does one help them get on?
