How Can I Get My Older Guinea Pigs To Accept My Younger One ?

[Florapig]

Hi, I have 3 guinea pigs, the older 2 I brought from a pet shop togever, but I brought the younger one from someone. They never bothered and have been living with each other for about 6 months. My older ones leave her out a lot. They block the ramp in there hutch so she carnt go upstairs and if she tries to cuddle with them they try to threaten her by nipping (they have never caused any injuries to eachother) my youngest one has taken to sleeping downstairs on her own. Is there any way I can encourage them to spend more time together? Thank you

Beau is 8 months old, Tiggie and Bee are 1 1/2 years old

Sadly you can't make your guinea pigs like each other. Like humans sometimes they just don't get on.
But as long as the younger pig still has unlimited access to hay, food and water and the older ones are not injuring her, then she will be ok.
If the older 2 really don't want he to join their group then would it be possible to get her a friend of her own and split them into two pairs?

Thankyou, Beau definitely gets enough food an water. I wouldn't be able to get her a friend as my parents won't allow it, but she gets long cuddles every day and loves human company.
