Make sure the cage is big enough. 4sq feet per piggie. If you get another on make sure it's a female also. You need a place to keep it alone for a couple of weeks to make sure it's healthy and doesn't have parasites on it . If it's scratching you'll need to get a spray from the pet store called 8 in 1 spray for small animals

No, it's never too late for your piggy to have a friend. They are social animals and do much better in pairs or larger herds.

Also, it can be difficult to house guinea pigs in commercial cages as they are far to small. Check out this site on adequate housing:
