Lone pig help?

I have just taken a lone male guinea pig in. I am going to have him neutered. Then i was going to bond him into live with the two girl pigs i have who live together, so the poor chap as company for the rest of his life. The two girls are around 5. So i am concerned they might not except him. Has far as i know he's around 2. When i take some pics I'll put them up. Apparently he looks like Secreat Squirrel.:? And so tame.:D
Any ideas on if they will be ok to bond him in with them?
 
I don't see age being a problem, I have introduced a couple of neutered males to groups/ single female and it has been fine.
 
Should be fine. Just make sure you wait 5 (i think, someone correct me if I'm wrong please) weeks before into-ing them to make sure he's still not fertile. I'm sure you know that though.

Good luck :wave:
 
OK, thanks, he is in a separate pen,at the mo, below the girls,so he will be happy enough till the right time. :D
I didn't want anymore pigs, but i couldn't let this 1 be alone for his remainder years.
 
yes, both girls at the same time, plenty of food as distractions and a neutral space of course! good luck! can't wait for pics!!! :wave:
