How long does a guinea pig take to have a litter?
Depending on the guinea pig, to give birth to a litter can take up to 10minutes per piglette! After the gestation period of 50-60 days the birth could last another 2-3 days, depending on the size of the new guinea pigs and the strength of the sow.

When is too old for a guinea pig to mate the first time?
I'm not sure about males. For female guinea pigs, they should've given birth to the litter before they are one. Never breed your guinea pigs younger then about 5 months though, since it is cruel to breed your baby and make it have babies. Hope this is useful... Some good sites to check out are: Guinea Lynx Cavy Spirit

Is it a bad idea to put a young guinea pig in with an old guinea pig if one is a girl and one is a boy?
Unless one of the guinea pigs is spayed/nuetered they will mate. This can be especially dangerous to the health of the female guinea pig because if she gets pregnant after the age of 9 months the only way she will be able to give birth is by C-section simply because if she has not had a litter before the age of 9 months her pelvic bones will fuse together thus making natural-birth impossible. Also, even if the guinea pigs are "fixed", the older one may bully the younger one because of its small size.
What is the gestation period of the guinea pigs and how their young are born?

a guinea pig can fall pregnant at 5 weeks but it is not safe until the pig is 5 to 6months and males can not father a litter until 8 months if you breed a female after 8 mounts though the pelvic bones will become ridged and your female would not be able to give birth
How many baby ginipigs can be born?
A litter of guinea pigs can range anywhere from one to six babies. Because of this large variation, I find it is helpful to breed two females at a time so that they can care for each other's young. Guinea pigs are very social creatures by nature, so keeping mutliple guinea pigs together is a good idea.
What is the mortality in pregnant guinea pigs?
if a sow has not delivered a litter of pups before she is 6 months old her pelvis has fused and she will need to have a c-section in order to deliver them. they cannot pass through her birth canal and both the mother and pups are at an extreme risk of death if intervention is not saught.
How often does guinea pigs give birth?
Guinea pig pregnancies last 59 - 72 days. Litter size can be from 1 to 10 approximately. The female (sow) is fertile immediately after giving birth to the babies, and if the male is present (boar), she could very possibly get pregnant again. NOTE: This is NOT recommended, as it could put a large strain on the female (feeding the current litter at the same time as pregnant with the new one is not considered a delightful situation for the sow).
