Question

One of my guinea pig just pasted away how long to i wait to get a nouthere one?

Answer 1

it depends when you get over the other ginea pig

Answer 2

i had a gerbil that died and the same day it died i went out and got some mice and it made me so much happier so to answer your question yes u should, try getting a different kind of rodent it makes it more exciting { if u like big pets eg. a guinea pig  get like a chinchilla or a ferrat i here ferrets rock}

Answer 3

that depends on you.....

are you already emotionally over the guinea pig?

Answer 4

If you go to get another guinea pig make sure that if you are going to use the cage your  last guinea pig was in that it is cleaned out and disinfected and make sure the food crocks are cleaned out so that nothing is left from your other guinea pig.

Answer 5

You can do one of two things:

If you feel like you can't betray your old guinea pig, or have a new pet for a while don't rush yourself.

But if you want a new one to help you recover from having it die or want a new one soon, then get it now.

It will save you money if you get it now, because then you will have fresh food, a nice cage, fun toys, and lots of information on how to care for them.  And all these things will deplete over time.

Answer 6

some people get another right away.....and others wait cause they usually have more then one guinea pig

Answer 7

There isn't a general rule on this kind of thing-no health impairments can come to the new guinea pig if your previous one passed away. (That is unless it died of a disease, of course.)

It just depends on whether or not YOU are ready to get a new pet.

Did you have more than one guinea pig? If so, you should give it awhile to be used to being alone before you introduce another one. The death of a companion is extremely painful to a guinea pig, and he/she might not be very hospitable if you stick some stranger into its home while it is in that kind of depression.
