Can My Guinea Pig Live Alone? Also How Often Do Wash My Guinea Pig Please Please Help Me

Guinea pigs are just fine alone, unless they have lived in a group for a long period of time or with a sibling for enough time to "bond". Also-- unless your guinea pig is a long-haired breed, you shouldn't need to wash it at all. They are pretty good at keeping themselves tiday. If your pet begins to smell musty (from urine trapped in its fur), you can wash it with mild puppy shampoo (key word is MILD) from time to time. My guinea pig had very long, quick growing hair that would trap things and form clumps of... It was pretty gross. We often cut the lumps, gave him a bath, and trimmed his hair when we cleaned his cage, and combed his hair in between to keep it lump-free longer.

As long as you give them attention and they have a large cage with opportunity to frolic ( not the kind sold in pet stores, the kind you can create for them ) they are happy. Sometimes one GP can dominate another and make their life difficult, so if you do add a new one in, match the dispositions well and make sure the newcomer is thoroughly vet checked. Be sure you increase the space of the housing as well. Too many people underestimate how much space a GP needs.

My guinea pig is happy alone.  We have him out a lot (we have a "run" with toys etc.) and he talks to us when he wants attention.  Watch his food intake--this will tell you how he/she is feeling.

I think guinea pigs should have a buddy because they can get lonely and they are very sociable animals. Sometimes if you have a friend that has a guinea pig you could take yours there maybe every two days or something, but I'll say my two guinea pigs freckle and annabelle cry if I only take one of them out and don't stop until I put it  back in.

Guinea pigs are fine alone but they do like company if you are not around also I bathe my guinea pig when I clean there cage so they are clean and so is the cage I clean my cage about once a week if this do0esnt help then sorry that just what I do

Hi my name is Shelby I am 12. So you might be thinking y should I listen to a 12 year old. Well I actually grew up with guinea pigs and you should give them a bath at least 5-7 times a month if you have any other questions I can answer any question you have.

Yes pig love each

They can live alone but they prefer/like living in gourps. 2 of them should be just fine but try to get 2 females unless you want to have a horde of them :)
Males can be teritorial and so it is not recomanded to keep more males together.

Yes, guinea pigs live alone in the wild anyway so he/she would not mind, he/she might fight wit other guinea pigs

Look at the site   www.guinealynx.info   IT will help with some problems but I know someone who has washed their guinea pigs and they're fine.

You should give your piggie a bath once a month & make sureyou use a baby shampoo so you won't get soap in their eyes Be sure to hold on to him real good while giving him a bath so he won't get to much water in his nose

Guinea pigs should never live alone as they are social animals who get depressed when they live alone and may stop eating. It is fine to wash them, but don't do it too often as they have oils in their fur which keeps their skin healthy. You can get specialist shampoo for small animals from any pet-shop but make sure the animal is completely dry before returning it to its cage as it will freeze

No once a month

Maybe you could get another guinea pig then he wouldnt be alone, maybe once every 2 weeks.
