Once you have quarintined your new piggy in a seperate area (follow the link in sources) and then introduced them in a nuetral area you should fine that both piggys are fine together.
I have 2 girls. The youngest one but the one I got first is the boss, sometimes Lily (the youngest one) launches herself at Buttercup (the older one) and only stops if Buttercup raises her head and surrenders!! Other than the occasional fight and the usual but sniffing they get along fine.
I don't really understand your question but if you re-phrase it I will do my best to answer it again.

i would choose 2 guinea pigs and a bunny, but if you want a bunny you need to give them daily excersise and more attention than the guinea pigs. Anyway, with 2 guinea pigs, they can partially entertain themselves. You just gotta be positive the guinea pigs are the same sex because i THOUGHT my 2 guinea pigs were both girls, but before i knew it the ONE girl i had was pregnant!!! (You do still have to entertain the piggies too but just not as much)

They should be introduced in a neutral setting, like at floor time.
And it's a moot point now, but when you bring a new pig into the house they should always be quarantined from the others for 3 weeks. You bought Crescent from a petstore I assume, theyare notorious for selling animals that are carrying mites and harboring other illnesses. I hope your pig isn't sick and she didn't give your brothers' anything. Something to remember for the future.
And as new guinea pig owners, I think you and your bro would benedit by reading the following:

It is always better to have 2 guinea pigs together that are the same sex. So 2 females are fine. If you want them to live together, what you should do is put them out on the floor to play with each other. If they can be out playing with each other, then I would say they will live pretty comfortable together. Just remember that they will need 2 of everything in there with them.
It was hard to understand your question so I hope I could be of some help!

Oh hon, it would be SOOOOOOOO MUCH EASIER to help you if we could understand the question! Surely they taught you how to use punctuation in school??
It is better to have two g pigs -- they like company. But you can't just plop them down together -- the first one will resent the 'invasion' of her territory. You have to introduce them slowly. Let them live near each other and play together for a couple of weeks -- THEN try putting them together in the same cage.
Good luck.

They are doing fine. Just make sure they dont hurt eachother and they both are getting enough food and water.

Gailtheguineapig gave you the best link. Use it.
Now, people will be more willing to help if they can understand what it is you are asking. Using periods and capitalization will help.

Don't stress unless they fight, which I doubt they will do. They are pretty easy going creatures. Show attention to both and I think it will be fine.

what? if the other g. pig is getting jealous then take yours out, let them socialise first before they fight.
