I recently just adopted a new Guinea pig named Chelsea as a friend for my existing one named Ruby. I have bathed Ruby before, but since Chelsea has longer fur, she has started to smell of wee. I'm afraid if I were to bathe Chelsea ruby might not recognize her scent and they just started to settle down.
 
I agree, bathe them both and they'll smell the same. As long as the short haird girl hasnt been bathed too recently then theres no reason u cant :) I have a long haired girl that i give a bum/tummy bath every fortnight, then next fortnight a full bath. and thats with her hair cut as i can only cut it so short at the back without fear of nipping her skin. My short haired girls get bathed once a month, one of them in particular gets itchy near her bath day so i give her a good lather with shampoo and shes fine again.
 
Yeh try a bath for both of them so they smell just the same. I've always bathed 2 a day for this reason and it has never caused any problems :-)
