Guinea pigs can reproduce at the age of 4 weeks. You are NOT supposed to breed your guinea pig well you can, but you shouldn't because for 1. There is a very high risk of them dyeing if they are not an experienced mother 2. They are over populated. 3. Guinea pigs are not very popular and you may have nowhere for the babies to live.

Hope I Help,

If the guinea-pig is over a year then you shouldn't allow it to get pregnant.

Male guinea-pigs can start mating when they are as young as 3 weeks old, although it is recommended that you make sure they been bred by six months old to make them a breeder.
Female guinea pigs can start having babies when they are three months old, however, it is highlyrecommended that you don't mate them when they are over a year old, due to pelvis bone fusion. A female guinea pig any older than a year old will have a dead litter before she will be able to produce a live litter.

A guinea pig can ONLY have babies between the age of 1.5 - 2.5 years. If they are any younger or older than this pregnancy and birth could be life threatening.

Hope this helped.

Good Luck.

In my experience, they can be as young as 3 weeks old! Though I wouldn't encourage it, being pregnant at that young for a guinea pig could cost the life of the mother, the babies, or both.
