After they are weaned
ANSWER:
You can hold the baby guinea's right away, when their like a day old is best. But only hold them for a few minutes cause they shouldn't be away from their moms too long. And it usually takes between 3-5 weeks for them to be weaned, it's different for a lot of them, some moms wean them at 3 weeks and some 4, some even 5 or 6 weeks. But the boys you should always separate between 3-4 weeks old for sure, because that's around the time they start trying to mate. Good luck. (its actually better to start holding the babies a lot cause then they would be more used to people holding them and not AS scared) :)

How soon can you touch a baby guinea pig?
Rule of thumb, when the baby is moving around by itself, "Thats not to say you can't touch it", to pick it up, whatever the mother and baby are being held in, and the guinea pig has a lot of fur, you do not want to discourage the mother from nursing the baby. some mothers are very caring and some are ruthless when it comes to nursing. By your question it sounds like you have a caring mother guinea pig.
