All female guinea pigs are called sows no matter the age, however in the show world guinea pigs under 3 months are Jr., 3-6 month old guinea pigs are intermediates, and over 6 month old guine pigs are seniors. If your guinea pig is under 3 months then generally it would be called a pup.

∙ 6y agoA young or baby guinea pig iis called a "pup" in English. In Dutch they are called Piglets because of the 'pig' part. Just like we call male guinea pigs boars and females sows.
Answer 2:
There is no official name for baby guinea-pigs. The term "pup" is just a colloquialism, and is not correct. Some sources claim they are called kits, but this is also not official.
A baby guinea pig is called a pup. When they grow up, the females are called sows and the males are called boars.
