older males

Question
hi  i have inherited two male pigs off two different people, they are about 2 or 3 years old, can they live together? as they chatter their teeth and butt, bite each other.

Answer
Yes, males can live together peacefully, but it depends on their personalities, and how large a cage they have. It's usually easier to pair an adult with a baby.

Have you seen www.guineapigcages.com ? I recommend building a C&C, at least 2 by 4 with a loft so they can get away from each other if needed. Put at least 2 of everything in it, two hidey houses, two food dishes, two water bottles and 2 hay piles so they don't have to share.

Introduce them on neutral territory like the floor. Put food down as a distraction. Chattering and some humping is normal. They have to sort out who is going to be dominant.
