If by normal milk, you mean cow's milk, then no. Cow's milk is specifically for calves, and baby guinea pigs have different nutritional needs than calves. The best option is to let the guinea pig sickle off of its mother as nature intended. If this is not possible, you can explore your options with milk replacer formulas - though these are made specifically for cats. If you know of someone else who has a female guinea pig with pups, you can try to put them in with her. If you are trying this option you should pet the female and get her scent on the "foster pups" that way she will be more likely to accept them and allow them to nurse.

Can you feed a baby guinea pig lactose free milk?

NO , please do not do this. you only give guinea pigs milk if you have to like if the mother has rejected it and it is under 4 weeks of age. but if your guinea pig is over 4 weeks of age, then you have no need to feed it any sort of milk at all. But if your guinea pig is under 4 weeks and it's mother is no longer with it, pure goats milk is the best for it. Hope this helps.
