it depends if you want them pregnant, if you want babies, put the male and famale together for about a day, that should do it. If you don't want them pregnant, and you only put the male and female together every once in a while, it depends for how long you leave them together.
Just some extra info: to know if your female is pregnant, wait for about a month and a half. If she starts getting unusually fat (large belly, small head), she is most likely pregnant. take the male out if he's not out all ready. when the babies are born, if the male is still in the cage with the female, the male could distract the female away ROM consentrating on the new born babies and some could die. When my female had babies, the male was still in the cage, 2 of the 4 babies died.

∙ 15y agoGuinea pigs are rodents. They can breed at a very early age. They can breed when they are 3 months old but breeding them at this early age is not advised. Waiting until they are 6 moths old is better for the health of the family of piggys.
