will my guinea pigs fight?

Question

i have 3 male guinea pigs, they have been introduced at different times, i had ben first, then jerry and then sooty, they were separate until i got them together, at first they were fine and got along perfectly then weeks later they started fighting so i separated them, they have been separated for a couple of months now. but i want them to stay in the same run without fighting. the cage they were kept in was quiet small, so they were most likely fighting over space. so if i put them in a bigger area will they fight? 
the area will be 7ft by 6 ft.(this is just throughout the day, they will go in their own hutch's at night) i dnt want to do it without other opinions, just in case they fight and get hurt.
soz its long x

Chances are no they wont fight
Male guinea pigs usually get along very well - the fighting yo saw was probably them just sorting out dominance, not actual aggression.

Either way you should never leave your guinea pigs unattended outside so if you see any really nasty scuffles you can always split them up. Have 3 boxes in the run that they can hide in and get away from each other if they need to
good luck :)

they will fight.

i had two male guinea pigs, they were in a massive cage, lots of different types of food, water, everything. we checked on them, and they were fine. 5 minutes later, we checked again. one had ripped the others ear off, that's how there personality's can change. my advice is, don't put them in the same cage, no matter how big it is, they will get very dominant, and Territorial. hope this helped xx (sorry lol)
