Is it normal for a old guinea pig to mount a new one?

I got a new guinea pig yesterday then got a newer one today.
the older one is trying to mount the older one.
is that normal?
they are both male.
please answer fast!!
Answers:
Yes, it's normal for guinea pigs to mount eachother like that. That will stop in a while. Here's a great site for bonding guinea pigs:

Read the WHOLE page if you have time! (The bottom part of the page is more important then the top!)
Hope this helps!
Good luck!
it is showing dominance, saying basicly.. my cage, I am in charge here. cupcake.
It is normal, it's not hurting your little pig to be mounted.

If there is no bloodshed, do not seperate. http://www.cavyspirit.com/sociallife.htm...
hi
i got 2 males from different litters as my first guinea pigs and to start with they were fine, after about 4 weeks they were doing the same and then they started to fight.
after another 2 weeks of this, the fights got to bad and blood was lost.
i had to split them up, they are both happy on their own in their own cages, i have tried a couple of time to put them back together using a open space but they just start to fight. so i am going to leave them on their own in their own cages.
i have 2 girls and they get on fine, and i have two brother boys that have never been split up and they are fine as well, i just don't think 2 boys from different litter will work they try to over power each other
i am a mum to 6 Piggy's now
and i would never put 2 different litter boys together again...
this might be bad news for you but i hope it helps,good luck all the best for yours and your Piggy's future
one more bit of advice:
if their is blood, please split them up. they will really hurt each other.
