How many baby guppies will be eaten by their parents?
In guppy populations, it's common for adult guppies to eat their own offspring, especially if they are stressed or hungry. The number of baby guppies consumed can vary widely, depending on factors such as the size of the adult population, availability of food, and environmental conditions. Generally, it is estimated that a significant portion of the fry may be eaten, especially in the absence of cover or hiding places. Providing plenty of vegetation and hiding spots can help reduce predation among guppies.

How can a guppy in solitary confinement get pregnant?
Live bearers such as guppies and swordtails have the unique ability to store sperm from male guppies for as long as 6 months or 6 drops (births). If the female has been in the same tank with a male even once, they can get pregnant. If you are sure they have never been with a male, it may be a fake gravid spot, which is not the fry's eyes showing through the skin, but rather the pigment of the actual skin, which makes them look pregnant. Hope this helps : )

Well, since the females could be pregnant when you buy them, all male would be better.
