Companions
Us guinea pigs are social animals. In the wild we live in herds, together. To raise us alone would not be beneficial to our health. There are three main reasons that I like to talk about. Those are exercise, diet, and fun!
As mentioned in many other blogs, a fellow guinea pig makes us run more and gives us more exercise. We often entertain ourselves by playing tag, hide-and-seek, or keep away.
please note that this is not my picture.
When a new food is offered to us, one of us may reluctant to try it. The other guinea pig might give it a taste, encouraging the other guinea pig to try it also. That food might be the one that contains vital nutrients for your guinea pig.
We are also soooo much more fun together! If one of us is moody, our owner just takes out the other guinea pig and plays with them!
Hope I helped!
