Female guinea pigs sexually mature very early. They can actually begin to reproduce at 3 to 4 weeks of age. Pregnancy is especially hard on a guinea pig, but even more so at this age. It is usually recommended that you do not allow your guinea pig to breed, but if you are going to, wait until they are at least 7 months of age to allow them in with a male.

Female guinea's shouldn't be allowed to have litters after the age of around 8-10 months. Their hip bones can fuse after this age, and cause a condition called 'Dystocia'.

In the wild, guinea's would be pregnant from a very young age, and would then continue to have babies into old age.
