Three Little Pigs

[Threelittlepigs94]

Hi all, I wanted two male guinea pigs. Set out and found two, however she had a third male that wasn’t picked up and insisted all 3 went together. So that’s what is happening, they are all the same age, only about 8-10 weeks so I’m hoping they will get on okay and not fight. I will ensure they have enough space and their own bowls etc... any advice? Success stories? Or should I look at rejoining one of them?

Aww, very cute wee guys.
I don't want to worry you or anything but I did the same thing and ended up having to split mine up as one bullied another. But best of luck nevertheless!

Hi and welcome!

Here is our comprehensive boar guide. Please take the time to carefully read it; you should find it very helpful and informative! Including the dos and don'ts with boars, how they develop and which pairings work and which don't.
A Comprehensive Guide to Guinea Pig Boars

Please make sure that you have a plan B when your babies hit the teenage months which are characterised by huge testosterone spikes. The fall-out rate with sub-adult boars is very high; at the worst you can end up with three singles that won't go back with any of the others. You need three very laid-back and non-dominant personalities for the boys to make it in a normal cage setting.

Here is our new owners guide collection which specifically addresses all the areas we get the most questions and concerns about from new owners. It also includes several guides that help you to learn what is normal and what not.

They could, but from what I have heard there is more chance of them not getting along as 3. But I tagged two member in that know more than me. So you should hear from them soon
