hey, I've a 8 month old girl guinea pig and I went and bought her a friend which was about 8 week old girl they've been getting on fine from when I bought her about 1&half month ago, I'm slightly worried now the youngest one is trying to mate my big one and she really doesn't like it, I have a picture off the little one just wonder if someone could help and tell me if its a girl or boy, don't want my big one getting that annoyed and hurting the little one :( thanks..
 
Hello there. Welcome to the forum. You are most welcome to post pictures so people can sex your piggies but in piggy relationships one is always dominant and will express this by humping and mounting. The submissive piggy will Squeek and protest but this sounds worse then it is and is just to let the dominant piggy know there are no threats. These links will explain more,

Thank you, so they are okay to be together then still? I just don't want to upset the oldest one too much because she was on her own for awhile, they live indoor too have a run outside. Bit cold at moment for then so I get the oldest out let her run around house
 
It could be that one of yours girls has come into season. This is normal and should only last around 1-2 days. It could also be them working out their dominance.
 
Do they both have exercise time? Piggies need two hours of exercise time unless they have a massive cage. It helps to have two of everything so they do not need to fight over things.
 
They both have the whole house to run about I give them both the same they have separate dishes, the big one likes to get on shelf top of there bed, they do share but I do this to keep them both happy! I was just worried when that was happening because I seriosuly don't want babies ! With already having a 4 year old and another on the way !
 
Would you mind if I post the little one bits just to be on safe side, sorry I don't want to but I really am worried
