New Born Pup
Hi everyone. So I recently popped into pets at home to get something for a friend. I saw a Guinea pig. By himself. ( I questioned it obviously) he was Up for adoption.
He’s 3-4 years old, not neutered ..He had a friend who died over a year ago.. the old owners had kept him outside in a cat carrier box for about 6 months by himself before taking him to pets at home. When he got there he was in a bad condition and has had some treatments and he is back to full health. He was “on display” for about 2 months and didn’t have much interest from customers. Obviously this melted me and I had to take him home. He’s coming on really well. Eats treats from my hand. Gives me little nose bumps. And I’ve only had him for 4 days. I’m just so worried about him being alone when I’m at work. And not having a companion. At the same time I’m worried about getting him neutered. He seems fairly happy. He was described to me as “grumpy” which is Definately not the case. Hes been “popcorning” when I give him some spinach. . I want some advice.. I know he shouldn’t be alone. Is it worth the risk of getting him neutered at his age and finding him a friend? Would it be worth trying him with a younger male? I’ve literally had this little angel since last Friday and I absolutely adore him and want him to have the best life. He’s in the living room with me so we spend a lot of time together. But he’s still by himself a lot. Any advice would be great. Thanks
