I have three
Guinea pigs from separate litters that are about three months and younger can be housed together. However, if the guinea pigs are older and from different litters or if one guinea pig is older and from a litter separate from a younger guinea pig, then one or both of the guinea pigs may become stressed or jealous. This can also become dangerous because some guinea pigs may try to fight each other. The two guinea pigs should be placed in separate cages. So that they can become more familiar with each other, maybe they can be placed together in a play area for a few minutes. If one or both of the guinea pigs become stressed or attempts to attack the other one, then they should be placed back in their separate cages until they have time to calm down. It's possible that the older guinea pig will become use to the younger one, but both guinea pigs should be supervised while they're together so that there won't be any problems.
Not sure, but guinea pigs aren't type of pigs. They're in the rodents family, and NOT pigs. Hope this helped?
