I thought you already have two males. It is very hard to put three males together, please don't get a third one.

Ditto @lissie. We never recommend trying to add a third guinea pig to an established male pair. If you've got two males, please don't try adding a third.

The "best" number of guinea pigs is the number you can care for adequately, including the sometimes expensive medical care that they need.

Oops, I had a typo. I always assume I have one since I am used to it, lol.
