Junior Guinea Pig
Hi everyone,
I have 2 old girls (spayed) they are 5 and a half now and we had added a little boy (6 months) to the group to liven them up a little bit. It has worked great ! They love him and he follows them around everywhere. However, I was recommended in the forum to spay him because he will probably eventually need another companion since he is so much younger than the girls. I have his spaying procedure booked in but was wondering about whether or not I should add another young one (around 2 months) to the group so that he gets accustomed to a new member already?
I was wondering if anyone has any experience regarding such a matter? I dont want to stress out the two older girls but they accepted him so well that I thought maybe a bit of overlap would be fine? I would enlarge their enclosure further as well so that each one has plenty of space.
I have attached a photo of our little gang. Oreo (black and white is our boy) Mocha (brown) and Lily (white) are our girlies
