No. Guinea pigs are herd animals and should always be kept with at least one companion of the same sex, or a neutered male with a female.

Unlimited hay, a daily portion of vitamin C-rich fresh veg and a small amount of guinea pig pellets. They cannot make their own vitamin C, so supplementation matters.
