Bonding Bonding Guinea pigs

Hi,
I was curious if I could possibly bond a bonded pair of females with another Guinea pig? Could this result in the third Guinea pig in getting bullied?

Any introduction of one or more guinea pigs to another CAN result in one pig being bullied. It won't necessarily be the new pig, and you may wind up with three solo pigs, none of which will live with the other.

But there's not much of a danger of that happening with sows. They'll usually settle in pretty quickly. Just give the introduction plenty of time, because it can take longer when you're introducing a singleton to a bonded pair.

Here's the bible on introductions: https://guinea-pigs.livejournal.com/3002707.html.
