Introducing a new guinea pig?

hello!


i have three lovely female guineas- here%26#039;s the scoop:





lily %26amp; clover are just under a year old, and have lived together since they were very young. i just got a new baby pig- who im thinking of either calling fern, delilah, or clementine... not quite sure yet, but anyways...





lily %26amp; clover are seeming a little big pushy so far- i have the baby pig living in a separate cage still (to make sure she%26#039;s not sick or anything) but have introduced all three.





delilah is very curious about the other 2 and wants to be friends for sure... i was wondering if you guys think things will hopefully work out between all three??





the lady at the pet store said that since lily %26amp; clover are still a bit young- under 1yr- that they should have no trouble welcoming in a new-comer... any advice on how to do this the best, or how long it could take?





i have had guinea pigs for 11 years now, and love them SO much- i really want this to work out.


thanks in advance if anything%26#039;s confusing, let me know

Introducing a new guinea pig?
I think you should let them play together when you usually play with Lilly and Clover outside the cage. And after a few weeks maybe...you can put Delilah in Lilly and Clover%26#039;s cage..so when Delilah moves in, it won%26#039;t be a complete surprise.....but make sure that they get along when you play with them...if they don%26#039;t then it%26#039;s probably better for them to be in seperate cages...you should also put the cages a little close together...not || that close....give them all some room...if you see Lily or Clover trying to get into the other cage....then I think it%26#039;s time for Delilah to move in...





Have fun with your new Guinea Pigs and GOOD LUCK!
Reply:they should be ok....put the new one in with yhe other two for an hour or so each day when you can watch them...after two or three times doing that ....if they aren%26#039;t fighting...you are probably alright leaving them together.
Reply:Just place some guineau pig treats inside when you bring him in. It should work out fine and they will love their new friend =)
