Guinea pigs are fertile most of their life, but as they get older the percentage that the sow is likely to die giving birth gets higher. I don't think it is a good idea to breed, because without an experineced person to watch over them it can be particularly dangerous to the sow and her unborn babies. If you must breed, the best time to get her pregnant is when she is about 3-5 months old. Any older than about 6 months and there can be complications. There is something about the sows hips, that if any older than that, the time to give birth will be harder for her as her hips won't be as flexible. Again, I will say, breeding is not a good idea with guinea pigs as they are small creatures and the risks of neither one making it are high.

∙ 12y agoKits nurse for about 6 to 8 weeks. My doe let me know when she was ready to leave her kits. You can see she tolerates their size and relentless attempts until she is certain they are ready to be fully weaned. Although I knew they were weaned, I still put the mother in with the kits daily. She helped to orient them to litter training and proper socialization. Be certain to keep hay and water available at all times so that as the kits are able, they may begin to eat and drink as an adult.
