It will scare them but you can hold them. Also if away from the mom they will squeal loudly and they can be with the male and if you can hold a baby and the dad guinea pig together they will get along.
Can you put a baby Guinea pig with its dad when it has been weaned?
Yes. Guinea pig moms and dads will not eat their babies. They do not need to be separated from each other like hamsters do. The only thing you want to make sure of is that the dad is neutered or you will have more baby guinea pigs.

well actually your question makes no sense. it's the dad's that eat the babies not the mom's and your solution, take the dad out of the cage.

Do you wash baby guinea pigs?
I don't thinks so because the mom or dad might eat them. That's what happened to my hamsters......
What preys on a guinea pig?
Cats ,maybe dogs and wild animal's 2 day old baby guinea pigs were attacked by cats and so was the dad guinea pig and they didn't survive so never let your cats near your guinea pigs if they are not in a closed hutch or run or cage. Hope this helped.

When guinea pigs are born can they be with the dad?
no that is not good to keep the dad with the babies because he would probably eat them.
Do male guinea pigs eat the babies?
NONo, if you feed it regularly.Male guinea pigs do tend to eat their baby's after birth , so before your female guinea pig has her baby's you should make sure to Remove The Male from the cage and keep the baby's with their mother . After about 2-3 weeks you can put the male baby's in with their dad for a little while but you must rub a little bit of the dads cages bedding on the baby's (gently) so that the dad does not eat them. Also they're still are males so if they fight you should separate them.Yes the male will eat the babies if you don't remove him (if I were you I would remove the male BEFORE the babies are born) Why does the male eat the babies?This may sound weird, but the male gets jealous of the female and will wanna fight, so to get revenge, he will eat her babies. So PLEASE DON'T keep the male in there!Thank -you!!!:)the dad guinea pig will not eat the baby guinea pigs because they are vegetarians and dont eat meat and a baby guinea pig is meat so they wont eat them unless there an evil guinea pig not from this planet lolx
When can the baby guinea pig meet the dad?
after about 12 months ( 1 year ) but if they seem to get along before 12 months you can put them in a little erlier.
