would 2 male guinea pigs (neutered) and 3 female guinea pigs happily live as a group?

I have seen 2 rescue male piggys (neutered) and it got me thinking would 2 males happily live with 3 females (that i already have?)

i am looking into adding a few more piggys to my tri and it got me thinking i know 1 neutered male was recomended to me.. but what about 2?

thanks

Not that I'm aware of, form what i gather you can only put 1 male per group of females, that is how it would be in the wild, one male a group of girlies.
Otherwise the boys will fight to be top pig.
You could try 1 male and 1 female and then 2 girls with the other buy but it would mean breaking both sets up and I don't know if thats worh the risk..?

No, the boys would fight over the girls. You can only have one neutered boy in a group.
