Absolutely they can providing that the cage is big enough to fit two comfortably. There will probably be a little fighting in the beginning for them to establish who is dominant but it will die down and they will become friends.

∙ 14y agoHi.. The answer is yes.. with a caution that they seem to be born pregnant! They're sexually mature at only 4 weeks, so watch out, because 2 guinea pigs can turn into 6 really quickly. We know from experience! Also, the female goes into estrus at the same time she gives birth! So if you have that situation going on, definitely send the males on a little vacation. I'd recommend getting them spayed unless you have a lot of friends who love guinea pigs! I have to say that I'm glad we went through it, because baby and juvenile guinea pigs are SO darned cute, popcorning all over the place. :-) Enjoy your piggies! Robert

∙ 12y agoGuineapigs are a social animal so it is reccommended to keep them in pairs or more.
If you get a pair of boys make sure they have a very good sized cage because at about 5 months they will hit puberty and need to be able to keep out of each others way a little till they settle.
Females are usually more relaxed but it is still a good idea to provide two beds or hiding places incase they want a bit of quiet time away from each other.

Can chicken wire be a guinea pig cage?
Opinion 1: No, it is nor okay. They can severely damage their feet and can cause a painful infection. Get a cage with no wire floor.Opinion 2:There is absolutely no problem with having a guinea pig cage with a wire floor. Having bred guinea-pigs for a great many years, I can assure you that never once did any of our guinea-pigs suffer any damage at all to their feet as a result of a wire cage.Wire floor cages are necessary in warmer parts of the world where the guinea-pigs spend all their time utdoors. this way, they can still get to the grass underneath the cage, and engage in their natural behaviour, which is to graze. If your guinea poig cage does not have a wire floor, or some other way for the guinea pig to get to the grass, you are depriving it of something which is instinctive.If your guinea pig is a completely indoors guinea pig (which is unnatural in itself), the floor of its cage must be wood or some other sturdy material with no gaps. Wire floor cages are only good if the cage sits flat on the ground.

Well, most likely, if there is more than one in a cage, they are happy, because they like having friends. But if if there is just one, it is sad, because it is lonely. Remember: Guinea Pigs are sociable animals. They like having more than one in a cage. They can get very lonely by themselves.
