i have both my male and female caged together. but i think there is something wrong with Buddy(male). He won't eat,or drink,seems weak. and he will lay near the female. if i take him out and put him back in he just goes back to her. yesterday he was making sounds i never heard him make before. sort of like crying. and i don't know of any vet in my area that takes care of guinea pigs.

Just because a vet doesnt say he specifies in small animal care, doesnt mean he doesnt. Call your local vets just to make sure. If they say no, ask them if they can recommend someone who does. If you've had him a while , He might just be old. sadly they dont live forever. I dont want to scare you but when I had guinea pigs they all stopped eating and drinking shortly before they died. Im not saying this is whats going to happen..but you need to call around, and find a vet that can check him, just to be sure. If you had a cold recently he might have caught it from you, because guinea pigs can catch colds. if this is the case, take him out of the cage before he gets the other one sick too. If not, I'd leave him in there..it sounds like he's comforted by her.

how long have u had them? Try putting one in another cage for awhile and see if the male will do any better! Maybe the female hurt the male check and see if there is any marks or anything!
