Unless you neuter one of them you'll just end up having tons of babies. They will mate. Females have a 20% chance of dying every pregnancy. If she has a successful birthing, then the male can get her pregnant again immediately after she gives birth. Back-to-back pregnancies are an extreme health risk to the sow. Also, if she has any male babies they can (and probably will) get their mother pregnant at three weeks.
But if you neuter one then you won't have to worry about any of those, and they will get along excellently. Just find a reputable exotics veterinarian, preferably one who has preformed guinea pig neuters before.

No no no. The adult males might combat over the female. the female may be pestered by technique of the adult males- it may be extra effectual to have 3 seperate cages, and in basic terms positioned the male you opt to reproduce to the female in for some days at a time once you opt to reproduce. besides, in case you relatively should have a semi professional prepare occurring, why might you opt to place the two adult males in there? you may under no circumstances understand who the father grew to become into. it may be achievable to place the adult males jointly (without the female!) yet this is often impossible, so do no longer economic corporation on it.

Not to many Vets would spay or Neuter Guinea Pigs. Best to separate them or you will have babies coming out your ears...
