Hey guys, so in addition to my 4 snakes, I also have a guinea pig, Charlie. He's doing fine but recently has been squeaking a lot, like almost all the time. He keeps me up at night, and as soon as i move out of bed he squeals at the top of his lungs again and again. His water and food is always full and he gets timothy hay every day. What i am worried about is that he is lonely. Being a full time college student with a job and 4 snakes, unfortunately I can't give him as much attention as he deserves. I know guineas are very social and are supposed to have buddies and I am faced with a difficult question, of whether I should take him back to a pet store. I would be very sad doing this but if someone could give him more attention or live with another guinea he might be happier.

Any advice is appreciated
