Can guinea pigs live in a cage on their own?

The first thing to note is that a guinea pig must not be lonely. This is why it is ideal to have at least two guinea pigs, since owning one guinea pig is difficult as he/she requires constant attention.

Another thing to consider is that the guinea pig must have a considerable amount of exercise. If the guinea pig remain in a clustered area without room for playing/running/exercising, he/she will suffer many physical illnesses.

Also, ensure that the guinea pig is taking all the necessary nutrients each day.

In short: If you plan to leave your guinea pig in a cage because you are gone for a couple of days, ensure that they have: plenty of room to play and exercise; more than enough food and water; and are not lonely.
