putting a young guinea pig with an old one

Question
I have a female guinea pig that is six years old and I want to know if I can put a younger female guinea pig in the same cage together?

Answer
It really depends on the older pig's personality, if you do get another younger guinea pig though it needs to have a ressesive personality and not want to pick a fight with the older one. The best thing if possible would be to ask a rescue or breeder in your area if you could bring your older female with you to pick out a companion, that way you can be sure that your older female will like her. I have had pigs that will not get along with any other pigs, and I also have pigs that will become friends with any animal, so it just depends. I would be sure to have an extra cage ready though if they do not get along, unless you take the female to pick out a friend. Usually if guinea pigs don't get along with in about 5 minutes they never will. I would also get a pig that is not too young, maybe at least 5-6 months old, and very calm. If you have any more questions let me know.
