Congratulations, Peanut, on being POTD! We cavies (GPs)! You are precious, adorable and brilliant! We are so sorry that you lost your brother but we know you will still thrive. We have rescued/adopted MANY homeless GPs through the years, some were brothers, and they had to be separated because of fighting. They all were happy and healthy in their own space with their own toys and food. It is NOT TRUE that all GPs "need" a cage mate. Sending love and best wishes for a long, happy, healthy, fun, safe life, Sweetie! http://www.guineapigsrfun.net P.S. Opt to adopt homeless GPs from shelters!
