These little guys can be held for short periods as soon as they dry from birth. This is advised because the sooner they are held the sooner they are tamed for handling and training. Be careful not to drop them, they are newborn babies.

How can you feel a baby guinea pig?
If you mean how can you hold it after it's born...: It depends on the mother really. When mine were born, the mother had no problem in letting me hold her babies, but they needed feeding so i couldn't hold them for long. If the mother starts getting worried when you try and pick one up, then i suggest you wait a while until she's fine with it. Sometimes you could have to wait for a couple of weeks.
