Female guinea's shouldn't be allowed to have litters after the age of around 8-10 months. Their hip bones can fuse after this age, and cause a condition called 'Dystocia'. This is when the hip bones do not part for delivery, and can cause severe problems for the mother-pig. In the wild, guinea's would be pregnant from a very young age, and would then continue to have babies into old age.

I was thinking of mating my two guinea pigs but i don't know how long i should wait because the female is quite young about 2 months When should i mate them?

It is best to wait until the female guinea pig is at least 4-6 months old before breeding to ensure she is fully mature and ready for pregnancy. Breeding too early can lead to health issues for the female and her offspring. Make sure both guinea pigs are healthy and the mating process is supervised by a veterinarian or experienced breeder.
