I agree. When one of my females had babies, one turned out to be male and so I put him with my other two older males - one was the father (over 6 months old) and the other I got from a shelter I used to volunteer at so I'm not really sure of his age, but I know that he is definitely over 2 years old (since I've had him for over two year :P). They all get along great...when I first put the baby in with the males, he started mounting and showing dominance. I haven't had any problems with the three yet.

You shouldn't pass up a piggie just because he is older...but that's just coming from my experience.

I'm glad you wrote the shelter back, with a link too...I think that helps provide proof to anyone who may not think you know what you are talking about.

Good luck finding another piggie!
