Yes , Guinea Pigs will fight with hamsters , you cannot keep them together in the same cage anyway , it is dangerous for the hamster to live in a Guinea pigs cage because the bars are bigger and it could get its head stuck. GUENIA PIGS WILL FIGHT WITH HAMSTERS!

yes, they usually do, i have a 7 year old female who lost her sisters so i decided to get her some friends as she was getting depressed. We went to the shelter and all they had was 2, 5 week old babies who are gorgeous white and tort rosettes. they love each other, my old girl has perked up so much since we got them. just make sure you get them of the same sex otherwise there might be babies and females shouldn't be bred after 10 months old unless they have been bred before as there pelvises fuse and they have issues giving birth.

When you get your new babies let them out in your room or the garden so its neutral territory and sit with them. the babies will probably just attach themselves to your older girl and just follow her around everywhere. My old girl leads our two babies around all over the place, they still think she is mummy even now there 3 months old.

A couple of weeks ago i had to separate my old girl from the 2 babies as she hurt her foot, one of the babies jumped over a foot high wall of the side of the cage twice and pushed the door away twice that night to get back to her friend. They really couldn't live without each other.

Generally, older guinea pigs will not fight with a baby guinea pig. They will however try to mount it, chase it, nip at it and make rumbling sounds. Those are all normal behaviours that don't require that you separate your pigs.
