yes with females the more the better as they are very social. with males its best to keep just 2 together in plenty of space to prevent fighting. its best to intoduce them when very young but most males will accept a very young (4 to 6 week old) friend. guinea pigs get very lonely if kept on their own so it is always recomended to get at least 2. most shops do deals when you get one or more although its better to rescue or get from a private breeder, as they are usualy better cared for and you can see their parents etc.
