Baby guinea pigs are very advanced when they are born, so you can hold them as soon as they are dry after birth. Mother guinea-pigs don't reject their babies like other rodents do, so it's quite safe to hold them within half an hour. Make sure you keep them warm, and as soon as they start to call for their other, give them back to her.
