Should i get a 1 year old female guinea pig (who is used to being alone) and a 2 months old guinea pig, and keep them together?
Dear Anonymous,
It depends on their disposition mostly. Usually sows get along well, so there probably wouldn't be much of a problem, but if any of them is rather feisty introduce them in a habitat (could just be a cardboard box with hay in it or something) which neither of them know. Follow the directions on the post about introducing an old boar to a young boar, and hopefully you'll get by fine.
I have introduced a few young and old sows to each other. One of the times, the older was used to being alone, but they were both quite cooperative with each other and settled in together fine. My two boars (they are more territorial, but I'll use them as an example) were introduced to each other and were fighting a lot at first due to the elder not being quite willing to share with the younger. I kept them apart, but allowed them little interactions with one-another regularly; they made friends and are now living together quite comfortably.
I think females would get along fine, introduce them properly and hopefully they'll soon be best friends! I've never had problems with females.
