Male guinea pigs CAN harm newborns, as they aren't fully aware of the situation. i wouldn't recommend keeping newborns with the father. They should be feeding with the mother. After 4-5 weeks the males have to be separated from the mother as they become sexually active at that age, and can impregnate the mother.
