Smells

Question
I read a question earlier talking about the smell guinea pigs put out for mating. I need help..
I have two older guinea pigs( less than one year) both males. I just got another male guinea pig. When I put all three together one of them is making the smell. Will this go away? The two older guinea pigs are in a different cage
And don't make the smell when they are together. It's only when I put the new male guinea pig to play.  Should I worry that the male baby is a female.
Thank you for your help..

Answer
it should all resolve itself eventually and the smell stop IF they are all male.

if a female then obviously she cannot stay with them,
a females underside has a sort of Y shape
where as a male has an i shape but with the dot large and circular.

just check to make sure it is a male and it will be fine.

best of luck
