Senior Guinea Pig
Yes I’d like to know definitely! 
Think of all of my babies the very bonded boar pair were the happiest, (rats and chins included), no stressy girl seasons, they plodded around and were so happy with life! Having a two female and one male trio however is very different! I pity Luigi at times!

That’s great news, I’m glad you’re keeping them together, if they’re happy then definitely the best plan!

! And nice shot if him in your pic I see my pigs from that angle when they want a snack all the time 
He’s Rupert, I lost him last May aged almost 7, he’s very much missed bless him. Him and his lady Jess (still with me) loved getting all cuddled in blankets together! Got one of her from the same day too! 
about their relationship before it hit boiling point 2 days ago. Maybe I could sense the aggression being in the room with them, I’m not sure. I have been taking notes on the Bonding article recommended to me by Wiebke. Wiebke was very helpful and advised me to do the quarantining and then meeting again. He/she said that I would be able to tell very quickly if their relationship would go back to normal or become vicious again. Just for context my eldest had been chasing my youngest around, humping him and my youngest has been giving in as the submissive with screaming and allowing my eldest to hump him as far as I know. But my eldest still goes after him nonstop and wouldn’t let him eat, drink, or sleep for what I imagine was all night since it was going on when I went to bed and woke me up the next morning as well. The article on the forum says that with boar pairings it usually can only get more aggressive instead of die down... Also they had been separated and joined together again before I spoke to Wiebke and understood what to do. When they were joined together they began the process again... From my end it isn’t looking so good if I’m honest, just with the context of their whole relationship that I can’t fully get into without typing 9 pages. I wanted to leave this update to explain the situation. But my question after all of this is: If I have to rebond them, could I have each of my non-neutered males bond with neutered females. Everywhere says to have your boy neutered and then add girls but I do know of a rescue that automatically neuters all guinea pigs it recieves and was wondering if I could skip the operation for my pigs and just get them each neutered girls. I feel that girls might be best for them since they both like to have automatic leadership in my opinion, neither likes to assert but each expects it. I assume with females the male automatically becomes head of the pack so I thought it would be nice for them. I am of course still rooting for my boys to stay together, tomorrow is decision day so wish us luck and I’ll keep the thread posted!
The good news is I used @Sikibam ‘s advice to talk to them today. I don’t think they were as educated as I thought they were on the social ways of guinea pigs. My dad told me point blank this morning that no matter what I said or did he would never consider getting them friends. I have been crying and distraught all day. Later on I had a talk with him and he said he would think about it, so now I’m halfway on cloud 9. I know my dad and two guinea pigs was hard for him, nevermind 4! He is very old school so it’s all very bizarre to him. I am trying to explain that people who have one guinea pig are just not educated on their ways. Now that I am equipped with this knowledge of them it’s hard for me to see them living any other way. I feel good like now I can argue my way and say all the right things and ask all the right questions. I really will just die if I have to keep them alone for 10 months!
. I could have 8 guinea pigs by now lol jk. Also, my dad’s million dollar question is what happens if we bond the pigs again and then their relationships fall through again. “What, then will we have to get 6 new pigs?” I know this could very well happen though unlikely if they have been bonded at the rescue. I have been recommended to Nevins Farm in NH, US. One of the best East Coast rescues I have come across is Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue. They are just out of my location but I loved their policies so much I had to seek advice from them about rescues in my area. They are the people who automatically neuter on the spot and create boy-girl couples. They are in PA, WA, VT, and more if anyone is interested I recommend. All their pigs also go to foster homes immediately! Another million dollar question, how expensive is it really to feed 4 pigs? I’m running out of money here guys and plus I’m a vegan (another bizarre thing for my family) which costs a lot more and already puts me in hot water with my spending!
