We bought two brothers in January this year (long haired).
Frankly, they've not been brilliant as we don't seem to have been able to get them used to being with us/ handled, and they spent a great deal of time hiding if we were in the room.
Now the friendlier one has died overnight and we are left with one, abjectly scared of us, young male pig.
I don't really want to get another as surely you'll always be playing catch up then ie what if one dies and you replace it then so on and so on, we were all in agreement that when they went we wouldn't replace but I know that guineas can live for a few years and prefer company.
I don't want to make the one we have left and more unhappy than he already is, if I get another I'd prefer short haired but could I introduce it successfully? Should I look to rehome?
Cute creatures but I do wish we'd not got them even though we did the research and followed all the advice.
