Are there any issues with having 2 Male Guinea Pigs? Do they get along as they grow up or would be likely to experience some problems with them?
 
problems can occur,there will always be the possibility of it,i have heard of many pairings working too, i have 8 piggies all in pairs and have never had any issues at all the key is to pair a submissive pig with a dominant one,give them plenty of space in there cage and do the introductions carefully xx

i so agree with that,my latest two bonded quicker than any of my others ever have and they are a 6 month old and a four week old,age is usually better spread apart,i have noticed problems are more likely to arise when both boys are going through teenage years at the same time,not to say anyones piggies will fight as i have two paired teenagers right now i just think the chances of them falling out are a little higher x
 
I have 6 boys in pairs, my first 2 were meant to be a bonded pair, but fell out. They are now happy and settled with others.
Problems can occur with girls also though remember, so you have to be prepared either way.
My boys are all happy with their cage mates so far. %-6 months is a milestone in which they hit teenager years and problems can arise then.. which my neo and ash are, but touch wood all fine so far x

if you want to do it the easier way you could get an already bonded pair through a rescue on here?that is assuming you are looking into getting piggies
