well i think its ok for them to have sex because me and my older brother did and if humans can why not guinea pigs Yes... but is it a good idea to let them? I'm sure someone else will expand on this. guinea pigs can deffinantly mate with their brothers and sisters. it is a good idear to let them because when guinea pigs find their mating partner the male might kill the female of the babies but whenh they are brother and sister they have grown up together and are used to each others company!

∙ 16y agoYes it is possible you will get some healthy piglets, however such close genetics usually bring out more of the genetic health problems and defects of the breed.

∙ 12y agomale guinea pig babies come to the age where they can mate 4-5 weeks old so they will mate with the mum and his sisters so you need to separate the boys at that age

Humans and guinea pigs are VERY different LOL I definitely would not recommend reproducing with your brother as this is what this is about with guine pigs.

Can a brother and sister dog mate?
UNFORTUNALLY, YESSSSS!!!!!!!!! Yes, a brother and sister dog can mate and have puppies, but the puppies will most likely be deformed and have problems because they are so closely related. NEGATIVE. My sisters dog had babies with the brother, 3 times, none of them came out deformed or anything. We went to a Vet, he said it perfectly fine, because animals DON'T have the same affects as us humans. I agree

How will the male guinea pig react to a female guinea pig being pregnant?
you should probably take the male out because he might try to mate with the female again. also, if he is in the cage when the female gives birth, he might kill the babies. the male will NOT kill the babys ....they are fine to stay with the female but must be removed just befor the mother gives birth or as soon as posable after as the male will want to then mate as soon as the babys are born ....also the male will not want to mate with the female while she is pregnant as she will not be on heat.. it is also best not to put the male bk in with the female unless u wanted them to mate again and if that is so plz let the female rest for a least 3/4 months after she has had the babys...it is also important to remove the males babys from sisters and mother at 4 weeks as the brother will mate with sisters and mothers when they r only 4 weeks old ...i hope this helps :)
