Guinea pigs can stop nursing after several days but I reccomend allowing them to nurse longer as its an excellent source of nutrients that the baby will need to grow and stay healthy.

How do the kangaroos nurture their young?

Baby Joeys are born about 2cm long. Immediately after birth, the blind and hairless joey crawls up the mother's fur to the pouch, where it attaches to a teat. The teat then swells in the joey's mouth, securing it through all the mother's movement so it cannot be dislodged, until it has grown for several weeks. Joeys spend about 6-8 months in the mother's pouch being nursed. In the initial stages, the joey stays attached to the teat until it is ready to begin being independent.
