Yesterday we lost one of our boy GPs to a bastard husky that came onto our property. I didn't even realise the dog had been near the animals until I went out to feed them later - it ran off as soon as I came out (we live in a rural area - no idea where the dog came from).
The cage and run had been broken apart and the more confident and friendly of the two was about a metre away, dead. His friend, who he has lived with since babyhood, was in the hutch as he usually is. Fanta probably came out to see the dog - he's used to our silly dog. I feel more sad about this than the kids.
Anyway, now I have a two year old boy guinea pig on his own. What are the options? I would rather not get a baby as I don't want to end up in an everlasting cycle of GPs. Is it possible to rehome an adult male to keep our guy company or will they fight? Is it an absolute no no never to keep a GP on their own?
