Hello!
I would love some tips and advice from other owners who own just one pig. Honestly any responses would be greatly appreciated!
Nearly two years ago, I bought two of the most lovely guinea pigs anyone could wish for. Dalek Kaan (Hopefully there are some Doctor Who fans here), the black and brown funky haired chappy, and Lili, the smooth coated white and ginger nut. Long story short, within the first 18 months there were an array of medical problems and in the end my gorgeous Dalek had to be put down.
Basically, now it's just me and Lili. She's a very happy pig. She was a bit depressed after Dalek passed, however after a week she was back to squeaking, pop corning and chirping. After lots of deliberation, I don't think buying a second new pig is a good idea. The two main things that I'm worried about is that I buy a pig, which I think is female, and it turns out to be male again; I'm also worried that I may buy a pig - new piggy and Lili don't get on, then I'm left with two separate pigs. Furthermore, the above health problems costed a huge amount of money all in all, and I currently couldn't afford that again. In the future I will buy another pig, but for the foreseeable future I am not.
I'm lucky enough to be able to spend a large amount of time with my girl. However, I would hugely appreciate anyone else's stories, tips, advice or just interesting bits and bobs about their alone piggy. Thank you so much!

oakleys behaviour was an instant change! I honestly did not see the problem before this forum and keeping piggies myself of just having one piggy but oh my word I do now! There is just an interaction between piggies that we humans just can't provide no matter how hard we try.
