Yes. It would be great if Guinea pigs had a cagemate. Guinea pigs are very social animals and need attention all of the time. If they dont get enough attention it could lead to depression. When guinea pigs are depressed, they stop eating and that could lead to Major problems in the long run. If you dont have a cagemate for your guinea pig than you should give your piggy as much attention as possible.Good luck with your piggy!
