hi just wondering if I could keep 3 male guinea pigs together
 
Boar trios very rarely work out. They could bond as a pair and bully the third one or all fall out and then have to be housed in separate cages. Are you prepare to separate them and find them a companion if that happened?
 
OK THANKS could I keep 4 males together then in a L150cm/W70cm
 
Not enough space for 4 boars. Two boars require that size of cage
 
if I had a cage this size could I keep 4 bours in it
L270cm W130cm

A trio of boars rarely work, 4 together certainly won't.

As much space as you can give is best for 2 boars, although you have to be in a position to house seperate should they fall out.
 
If you can afford the huge cage two boars will love it.
 
Just to reiterate what the others have posted - boars can live happily in pairs. Very rarely a trio of boars will work, but adding a third to an existing pair is a high risk strategy as it risks upsetting the bond between the existing 2 boars. A trio of young boars will rarely make it through puberty without a big bust up. Boars need LOADS of space and places to get away from each other.
As for any group larger than a trio you would need an absolutely huge space and 4 boars whose personalities matched. It's not absolutely impossible but very highly unlikely to work.
 
I'm happy with the two that ive got Freddie and teddy
I'm going to put some pictures up of them
aswell as the kitten and 2 bunnys
