My little sister's friend is coming over today with her guinea pig. My sister wants Tiger and Squeak to interact with him and I was wondering if that is a bad idea. They are all males but I don't know if they would fight or if that interaction would cause fighting in the future. Can they have floor time together?

It is a bad idea, the pigs will have to settle their dominance issues (nip and hump) every time they meet, it will just be stressful for both pigs.

Maybe she could adopt a full-time friend for her pig?

I think this was only going to happen once.
What if they are on opposite sides of a grid wall? Would they still have dominance problems?

That's a bad idea, because every time the other pig comes over they will have to choose who is the dominance one again.

Okay, thanks people.
Fortunately, it looks like the kids are more interested in playing outside than having a guinea pig playdate.
