Baby Guinea Pigs

[irishbunny]

She wasn't too big entirely, I wasn't expecting her to have 4. On a gp forum people guessed she would have around 2 but she had 4 big, healthy babies Ya they are born about as developed as over 2 week old babies. You even have to take the boars from the mother at about 3 and a half weeks because they can become sexually mature at that age! I may be keeping them all now

Lot's of breeders don't start breeding their sows for the first time till 8 or 9 months. After a year it gets more risky, so after a year I wouldn't

Ive been breeding Guinea Pigs for years! babies are so cute thats why I end up keeping them all
The breeding age for a female is 3months-1.5years, for a male its4months + until they become infertile lol
