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) :)
