Question
Can 2 male guinea pigs get along?  How would I introduce them to each other?  Thanks Heather

Answer
yes they can, have a partition of mesh wire in their cage or hutch with one on each side, every other day swap them over onto the others side, after two week remove the partition and they should get along fine, if not then replace the partition and try some of the following alongside the partition.

bath them together,

take them out for a drive in the same box without a partition.

clean out their cage with a watered down disinfectant.

introduce them in a neutral place, like a run in the lawn.
