When a guinea pig is pregnant can the mate and her be in the same cage?

While she's pregnant Yes! But Before she gives birth you HAVE to separate them, he will get her pregnant directly after the babies come, it's highly dangerous! Keep them in separate cages until the babies are about 4-5 weeks old then you should be able to put them back together. (make sure you fix the male 1st though!!) Good luck.

Do the guinea pigs need to be in their own cage when pregnant?
You need to keep any males out of the same cage that a pregnant female is in. You can keep other females with the pregnant one. If you think you may have a problem with the pregnant one, you can cage her by herself.

Not unless it is the father, take out the father 2 weeks before birth as the mother can become pregnant 2 hours after birth, this is fatal to the baby's and mother, the father may kill the baby's if left in same cage after birth. thank you hope i helped
Can you have moe than one guinea pig in a cage?
Yes! Most guinea pigs love to be together and will be happier and livelier. Just make sure that the cage is big enough, and that the guinea pigs are the same sex.
