Can a baby guinea pig get in the same cage as the one you had for 2 years?
Yea
Improved:
This is a possibility, but is not always the case. Many guinea pigs get along just fine; no matter what litter they are from. On the other hand, two guinea pigs may fight whether they are from different litters or not. You should always be careful and monitor interactions between two guinea pigs who are just meeting. Once you are sure they will not fight, you can let them be together in a large enough cage without constant supervision.

This is based on an individuals opinion, since this question is a very biased and opinionated question. Some people think that pigs are ugly because they believe they are dirty, since they like to roll around in mud and use their powerful noses to root around in the dirt. These same people also believe that pigs are ugly because they have almost no neck, are short, squat and fat, etc. But there are others who don't think pigs are ugly, because they see that pigs are, in reality, clean animals since they defecate and urinate in a spot away from their feeding and resting area, and they cool themselves in the mud because they have no other ways of cooling themselves, and that pigs are just as smart as a dog, if not smarter.
So all in all, this question is based on one's opinion and only that.

Are pigs considered to be cattle?
Pigs and cows are not the same animal at all. Pigs are much smaller than cows and they are omnivores instead of herbivores. They don't have a furry coat and they have tightly curled tails. Cows or cattle are large herbivores with furry coats and long tails that have a tassel at the end. Cattle can also have horns in some breeds.
Pigs skin is similar to that of humans and is also as sensitive. While pigs do come in a variety of colors, the color pink tends to arise due to the blood vessels under the skin.
They are not always pink but they can be. They can be spotted,black,brown or pink.
Of course a pig is not a human. It is a pig. It is another type of mammal altogether.
When do the piglets come off the sow?
when you wean a piglet you are supposed to do it when it is dead.
