First off when it's first born you should let it rest. It is safe to pet it when it opens it's eyes, but only a little bit. Then when it's eyes are comepletely open you may pet it more but you still can't hold it. Then after 3 weeks from it's birth you can hold your guinea pig. Have fun and make sure you take care of your guinea pig. They are small and playful animals, and love to be cuddled. Thankyou.
If your Guinea is used to you then you can handle the babies straight away for a few moments. Try not to keep them away from mum for long though as she may get upset and baby may start to get cold.
Guinea pigs should be four weeks before weaning and I like to give them a week to be away from their mothers before they immediately get sold. You could sell at four weeks if you like but I feel that it is easier on both parties to wait until five.
i lt my pigs breed at about 5 to 10 months
The oldest ever guinea pig was Nibbles who reached 16 years old
You have to times the guinea pigs human years age by 16, like you times a dogs human years age by 7. For example if the guinea pig is 2 in human years then he will be 32 in guinea pig years.

Well the average guinea pig cost about $20 however if you include all the acessories needed to have a guinea pig (i.e cage, brushes, shampoo, books, kibble, bedding, toys, water bottle, hay, and vegetables) it can end up costing quite a bit ($200-300 easy) this is something to seriously consider before choosing to own a guinea pig. A guinea pig isn't just like a hamster or gerbil you have for a couple of years and forget about- a guinea pig is just like a dog or cat (and is just as loving!). Things you can sell to get a guinea pig is for example old jewelery, old toys, old books, practically anything of value can go towards the initial cost of a guinea pig. Along with selling things you could gradually save up money, whatever works.
She should be at least more than 5 month old.
