no, unlike hamsters guinea pigs will happily let you touch or handle her babies, if the babies do not get distressed and you are very quiet you can hold them. you can even put another older female in with the mother and the female will help out and the mother can rest. if you give them some soft vegetables or bread and milk the babies will even take a nibble sometimes, they are very well developed. i know i used to breed guinea pigs
Is it ok to breed your guinea pig at 12 months old?
Probably. But do not breed the guinea pig unless you already have stable new homes for the babies, or know that you will be taking care of the babies, and don't give them to a shelter. There are so many abandoned guinea pigs; the world doesn't need more. If you know people looking for a guinea pig, instead of breeding, suggest they look at an adoption center or shelter.
