We need to be TOGETHER !!!! Guinea pigs are social animals, so it is best if they live in PAIRS.
Usually females cohabit well as either siblings OR mother and daughter pairs. Males should NEVER be placed with females under any circumstances even for a short period.
Do NOT keep Guinea Pigs outside in the Texas climate. Guinea pigs can have heatstroke at 85°F and also canNOT tolerate cold.
