[Gpdd] CARE: Newly-Solitary elder-piggy

Every guinea pig is individual. I had a pair of guinea pigs who lived in 
separate cages but when he eldest died the younger one was devastated 
and became depressed even though they did not live together. I got a 
pair of younger guinea pigs as companions. Her mood improved but she 
would not share her cage. I suspect that you guinea pig is happy just 
knowing the other others are near. If she is eating and acting as if 
nothing is wrong perhaps she is happy being on her own. Sometimes 
introducing another guinea pig as a companion can be stressful.
