A baby male guinea pig is capable of breeding when he is around 3 weeks of age or 400g in weight which ever comes sooner. He will start to rumble and may attempt to mount his mother or siblings at this stage it is very important her is seperated and kept with his male siblings or if he is an only boy an older guinea pig male for company.

Your guinea pig is much too young. Guinea pigs become fertile after about 4 weeks, but it's safest for the mother (and her babies) not to be breed before at least 6 months. The best thing you can do is get her checked in with the vet, and ensure she's alone in the cage with fresh bedding and plenty of food and water. Good luck with her.
