No, guinea pigs do not like to live alone. When getting a guinea pig, it is best to get two guinea pigs so when you can't give them attention, they have each other to play with. But when you get only one guinea pig, be sure to give it a lot of attention.
But please read this: Do not put 2 males together in the same cage. They will fight nonstop. 2 females will live nice together and a guinea pig can happily live in the same cage with a rabbit. Also, when a guinea pig has babies, be sure to remove the male guinea pig.
well guinea pigs usually should live in pairs, and actually the more the better.
A lone guinea pig would need a heap of time outside the cage each day to fulfill its need for companionship, but if kept with a friend, they will happily socialise with each other during the day when you are not at home.
A 7x3 cage is good for 2 guinea pigs so they have space to move around.
Hope this helped :)
It is best to consult a veterinarian if your guinea pig is ill or injured. Self-diagnosis and treatment can be risky and may not address the underlying issue. Veterinary care is important for ensuring the health and well-being of your guinea pig.
Guinea pigs live 3-8 years, but an average life span for healthy guinea pigs is about 5-6 years. A lucky guinea pig can sometimes live up to 10 years! So, a 5 year old guinea pig is getting up there in years, but if properly cared for, can live for a long awhile yet.
Yes, a veterinarian can perform an ultrasound or X-ray to confirm if a female guinea pig is pregnant. It is not possible to accurately diagnose pregnancy in guinea pigs through physical examination alone.
No, 4 years old is not considered old for a guinea pig. Guinea pigs can live between 5-7 years on average, with some even living up to 8 years or more with proper care. So, a 4-year-old guinea pig is still relatively young and can have many more years ahead.
It is spelled "guinea pig". You got it right! :)

guinea pigs live 4 to 7 years, if your guinea pig is healthy and safe it can live up to 8 or even 9 years!

yes. I had a 2 year old guinea pig and a 6 month old and the were great together.
Your Guinea Pig can live alone, but you need to make sure you provide play time and snuggle time a few hours daily to bond and give your guinea pig stimulation. Have fun with your piggy!
Only the guinea pig she mated with but be sure to separate them after birth
