Don’t solo Guinea pigs become depressed? Does this pig not play well with others? EDIT: I see in the comments by OP that this is the case.

It’s sad but true.

If a Guinea pig would be a danger to itself or others, regardless of whether they even like other pigs, it cannot share a cage and a divider may be used with caution.

Ace may want friendship. I don’t think he does. During the bonding process with Winston he tried to bite him with intent to harm. During bonding, they roughhouse. That’s normal and good. Ace lunged at Winston multiple times with intent to harm which isn’t ok.

I know. It is why I am so happy Winston found a forever home that’ll give him attention but also keep him safe.

I definitely slept in the living room with him last night, I didn't want him to be scared. He's the absolute best.

Guinea pig sleepover! I bet he is very tired and just so happy to be home after going from shelter, to my house, to shelter, to you house, all in under 2 weeks. The hero’s journey.
