Hello! My boar is currently 2 weeks post op and we originally planned for him to get a girlfriend around October 20th - my cousin works in a vet and recently had around 33 guineas pigs surrendered to them. Monday 17th October will be exactly 6 weeks post op, but as far as I know he has been alone without a friend his whole life (around 2 1/2 years). I read online that having two cages next to each other can be a good idea and can help with bonding. I'm just wondering if this is necessary as I am getting him a baby (I have heard that as babies don't know how to be dominant you don't need to always do scent swapping?). His cage is currently on a table as he likes to be more level with us (Around my stomach height) but her cage would be on the floor, so I don't know if this would just upset him more as she would be mostly out of sight anyway.
Any advice please?
Thanks!
