Guinea pig.i need some advice.?

i had two guinea pig, but one died yesterday, and the other one is really lonely, and i just can't bare to see her like that :( any advice please! :'(
Answers:
I think it would be best to find out WHY the first one died before getting another piggie. If the piggie was sick, you don't want to bring a new piggie in and infect her too!

Take your existing piggie to the vet for a checkup. If the vet gives her a clean bill of health, I would suggest starting to look for a new friend (same-sex!!!) for your piggie. There are many piggies out there with no home, so please adopt from a local shelter or rescue. You can find one at www.petfinder.com

Sorry for the loss of your piggie.
Consider getting her a new cage mate (same sex, of course!). I'd suggest having her checked by a vet (both new %26 old one), if the one that recently passed away was ill.
keep her in a pet pac. Ferrets use them to hide in. You can make one and let it snuggle next to you while you move around- tie it to your chest. Don't do it full time yet 10 minutes at a time while she gets used to it-meanwhile start looking a new friend
well i hope you all ready know that guinea pigs are very very sensitive towards sound... a simple sound for us is a lot for them... so a large sound 4 us is like a death killing sound 4 them.... hope you knew that
go out and buy a pet pack.they are these things that is kinda like tying them to you, but its not at the same time, but they like tose and keep him or her out for about 5 minuts at a time untill you get a new friends(same sex)for it:)
