How old do a guinea pig have 2 be to breed?

Answer 1

a guinea pig is to old to have babies around 1-1 1/2 years old but if the sow alredy had babies she can give birth again after 1 1/2 years give the sow 2 months after the birth to try again. separate the boy babies from the mom at 4 weeks old. don't let the father be around the sow!! because after birth he could get her pregnant again and sow WILL die with the babies!!!! :(

pregnant pig:

I've heard many times that after 8 months old it can be VERY dangerous for the mother to give birth, especially if it's her first time. But never mate them before 5 months old, the best time (for the first) would be 5-8 months old. But as you may already know, you should never mate them because no matter how old they are it can be dangerous for the mother. Good luck.

Answer 2

She isn't necessarily too old to conceive, but it is more dangerous for her if she hasn't given birth before. Guinea pigs' pelvises aren't fused together until they are about a year old. Generally, the best time for mating would be before then. If your guinea pig conceives at two, she becomes at risk for complications during birth due to her pelvis being too small for the babies to come out.

Answer 3

2 months, but some can be fertile sooner. It is also worth noting that a female guinea pigs pelvic bones will fuse after 8 months or so if if has had no young, meaning that it can still get pregnant but will have difficulty giving birth, unless it has had a previous litter.
