Guinea pigs are remarkably mature at birth compared to most other common pets. They may start eating solid food shortly after birth, but should be kept with their mother until they are at least two weeks old and are eating solid food regularly.
At 3 weeks they should certainly be mature enough to survive without nursing. They may also be starting to reach sexual maturity.
