Well, females become mature at 4 weeks old, BUT THIS IS NOT A SAFE TIME TO BREED! You should probably breed it at, at least 4 to 5 months. If you breed it at 8 to 10 months than it can kill mother and babies, because the pelvic bones begin to fuse
Male guinea-pigs can start mating when they are as young as 3 weeks old, although it is recommended that you make sure they been bred by six months old to make them a breeder.Female guinea pigs can start having babies when they are three months old, however, it is highly recommended that you don't mate them when they are over a year old, due to pelvis bone fusion. A female guinea pig any older than a year old will have a dead litter before she will be able to produce a live litter.
Female guinea pigs can get pregnant as early as 4 weeks old and can have multiple litters throughout the year. It's important to separate males and females by 3 weeks of age to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Pregnancy in guinea pigs lasts around 59-72 days.
Guinea pigs live 3-8 years, but an average life span for healthy guinea pigs is about 5-6 years. A lucky guinea pig can sometimes live up to 10 years! So, a 5 year old guinea pig is getting up there in years, but if properly cared for, can live for a long awhile yet.
8 months old
Guinea pigs can sometimes die after labor due to complications during childbirth, such as difficulty delivering the babies or internal bleeding. It may also be related to underlying health issues or inadequate care during the birthing process. Prompt veterinary care is crucial in such situations.
The best age to breed your guinea-pigs is 5 months to a year old.
at least half an year
Yes, I would say that eight weeks is a bit too young to start breeding your guinea pig. I would suggest waiting until your guinea pig is about four months old to start the breeding process. Otherwise, if you start breeding your guinea pig too early, there are multiple complications that could arrise that might affect the health of the mother of fetus(s).
Well, If they are growing length wise they are 0-8 months old. If they are growing in width(fatter) They are a year or older. If you are wanting to breed, don't breed it its older than a year...Well the males can be, but not the Females.(:
one year...
I just turned 12 and I think the best guinea pig to get is an American short haired. they are very friendly and easy to find. Hope this was helpful :]
About 2 and a half years old. (on average)
yes. I had a 2 year old guinea pig and a 6 month old and the were great together.
where do you live? because we have one ..hes 2 yrs old.
yes this should be ok....never breed a gp over one year that hasn't birthed before as the hip joints fuse.
1 year old
any where from 3 weeks of age and up but not too old either
