Why would one guinea pig hump the other when they are both males?

Raging hormones! Also, homosexuality does exist in the animal kingdom. The "humping" pig is showing his dominance over the other piggy. Keep an eye on them and make sure that they don't fight, as they could hurt each other.

If they are male and female, and you do not want the female to get pregnant, then IMMEDIATELY take the male out of the cage and put him in a different cage for a few hours. If you WANT the female to get pregnant, then just leave them alone.... And if they are both males, then it's trying to show the other one that it is dominant. If there are two males and one female, GET THE FEMALE OUT!!!!!!!!

Both males and female guinea pigs are great. It all really depends on the individuals personality, so if you want a friendly guinea pig, you should search for that and get a guinea pig that is friendly. But if you are getting 2 guinea pigs, you shouldn't really try to get 2 males as they (males) tend to fight. Usually a male and a female or two females will get along well. == == Hope I helped!

Do siblings guinea pigs eat each other?
In the wild, guinea pigs do kill other guinea pigs. The reason is usually because two males are arguing over a female. The males both want the female so they have a fight to the death. The winner (the one that is alive in the end) gets the female. This could happen in your home if you have males and females in the same cage. The chances of that are very, very small. Males also just fight for dominance. My two males often fight when i put them together, but when in separate cages they talk to each other and act as best friends. If you wish to put two males together, purchase them when they are both young and emidately join them in a single cage. You can also buy two males that were in the same cage at the place you purchased them from. So that sums up that guinea pigs do kill their own kind, but usually the males are the ones killing (and dont forget this is rare at your home and can be very easily be avoided).
