Question
I have a 5 month old male (Biggles) and we just got him a new baby buddy(Elmo) 2 and a half weeks ago.
We introduced them in a neutral territory yesterday and today.
It went very well. Biggles did do some butt nugging, soft squeaks, lots of smelling, some nugging and mounting for about the first 45 min. and they they both just settled down and talked to eachother nicely.
When I take them apart they go crazy calling out for eachother.
My question is when is it safe to put Elmo into Biggles cage?
Thanks so much!

Kathleen
P.S. They are both boys for sure.

Thank you for your question!

Give the guinea pigs a couple of days in their nuetral environments, Making 100% sure that it is safe to keep them together. Put the cages right beside eachother so they can still talk, sniff and feel eachother. It seems that they have come to a good start so far.

Best wishes with your guinea pigs
