I am a new guinea pig owner and i has just recently adopted a female guinea pig. I decided she needed a friend and adopted another female guinea and I'm not sure if they are getting along of if i should seperate them the one i had first is poping all over the cage and twitching which i heard was called popping but also at the same time she seems to be going after the new guiena pig!
 
If there's popcorning then they are happy to have a friend. All piggy pairs/groups need to go through a bonding phase, which can last a few weeks, to work out who is top pig. Have a look at this guide as it will help you identify normal dominance behaviour Bonding: Illustrated Dominance Behaviours And Dynamics. I would not separate unless there is a fight with blood drawn as they need to work it out between them
