No matter their age will they still try to mate?

[Loreliana]

I have 4 piggies, two females and two males. They are about 2-3 years old, I've had them together a handful of times for half an hour at a time and they dont fight or try to do anything with one another. Would they try to mate considering their age? I was thinking of putting them all together in a big cage, providing all of them more space and hiding spaces and things. But I'm also worried about their well-being.

Thanks.

Don't do it. Especially at that age - the females' pelvic bones will have fused and they WILL try to mate.

There is a high risk for adult sows (after 1 yrs old) to give birth.

You should not be breeding. See: www.cavyspirit.com/breeding.htm

Also, it is not adviseable to keep more than one male (even if neutered (with one or more females).

Don't do it; build them seperate cages. It's the only way to be sure.
