Bonding Guinea pig terrified of new baby.

[bnt1988]

So I had two guinea pigs who got along just fine, bought a third one, and it made my original two hate each other. So I got another huge cage, and separated my two original boys. My Butters seemed lonely being all alone, so I got a new baby today, and Butters is so scared of him. He actually jumped out of the cage twice. He's scared to go over by the hay or water. Idk what the deal is or if they will ever get along.

I neutered my Ginger (renamed Mr. Ginger after my Cocoa had 6 pups), because A. I didn't want more babies, and B. because he was a grumpy pig, and I read neutering made them a little calmer and such.
Well, they were right, my Ginger had a complete change of attitude.

I'm pretty sure the new pig is fine. I've inspected it well and I see no signs. I got them out and put them on the bed together and they did just fine, but I put them in the cage again together and Butters jumped out again. He is seriously scared of this new baby.

I got a another pig solely for the purpose of having a friend. I d
