Well, females become mature at 4 weeks old, BUT THIS IS NOT A SAFE TIME TO BREED! You should probably breed it at, at least 4 to 5 months. If you breed it at 8 to 10 months than it can kill mother and babies, because the pelvic bones begin to fuse

∙ 13y agoIf your guinea pig is male, it doesn't matter what age you start breeding it, but if you have a female guinea pig who hasn't previously been bred and it is 1 and a half years old it is safest not to as the pelvic bones will have fused and can cause the death of your guinea pig or it's babies or both during the birth.

∙ 11y agoNo, you should wait until they are at least 4/5 months, but don't wait until they are over 8 months because then their tails set and it can be dangerous for the babies and the mothers. 2 months is much too young, wait a few months is my advice.

If you wait much longer, the hip bones will not be able widen to allow for birth.)
