Introductions Keep them apart?

[Thumper27]

The boys I should be getting tomorrow, at least I'm hoping to get both, have been kept apart in living quarters. They have been out and about together for floor time, according to the woman. I'm order a C&C cage in the next couple weeks, and my question is, should I block it into two? And see how they react to that? See how they do out and about together, and then try the cage? I know before I had a male and female that would stay in seperate cages because he wasn't fixed. But they were always side by side, and he still was able to learn a lot from Rossie. When I got him Curley didn't know a thing about hay! But he learned that new veggies were good because he could see her eating them.... Anyways, I'm just kinda curious...

How big is the cage you've got now? And how old are they?

Apparently the guys are already together at least part time, so there's no need to separate them for quarantine. But unless you've got a big cage, I wouldn't dump two boars in it that hadn't already been living together.

If it is big, then I'd try the introductions (read Guinea Pigs Social Life) and see how they go. If it works, you're home free. If not, keep them separated until they're older and/or you've got a bigger cage.

Well they're coming with their cages, and I'm not sure how big they are, but I do know better then to put them in the same small cage lol. But the case I was looking at was Meduim open top on here...

However, they also said these are big boys, and I'm almost afraid this one won't be big enough, I'm also unsure of the open top....
