How do you know if guinea pigs in heat?
Guinea pigs go into heat once a year in the spring, but if you are looking to breed, and you have a boar, you can breed any time. By placing the male with the female you are sending your sow into heat, but there is no way to tell if your pig is in heat, other then putting her with a male and seeing what he does.

When do male guinea pigs become fertile?
Male guinea pigs have been known to make a female pregnant when they are only a month old. But usually the male becomes fertile and wants to breed around 3-6 months of age. If you are planning on breeding, I suggest not to because the risk that the female will die giving birth or that she will give birth to "lethals" (babies without eyes or have crooked teeth) is high.
Do female guinea pigs have a period?
No, female guinea pigs do not have a menstrual period like humans do. Instead, they experience an estrous cycle, which means they go into heat (estrus) approximately every 16 days. During this time, they may exhibit specific behaviors, but there is no shedding of the uterine lining as seen in a menstrual cycle. If not bred, they can continue to cycle throughout their lives.
Why can the male guinea pig not go with the female guinea pig?
Because the male and female guinea pig would breed constantly and you would have a major explosion in the population of guinea pigs within a few months. Also, male guinea pigs can be fairly territorial and have sometimes been known to eat the offspring if there isn't enough room in the cage for all of them.
