No, if you feed it regularly.
Male guinea pigs do tend to eat their baby's after birth , so before your female guinea pig has her baby's you should make sure to Remove The Male from the cage and keep the baby's with their mother . After about 2-3 weeks you can put the male baby's in with their dad for a little while but you must rub a little bit of the dads cages bedding on the baby's (gently) so that the dad does not eat them. Also they're still are males so if they fight you should separate them.
Yes the male will eat the babies if you don't remove him (if I were you I would remove the male BEFORE the babies are born) Why does the male eat the babies?
This may sound weird, but the male gets jealous of the female and will wanna fight, so to get revenge, he will eat her babies. So PLEASE DON'T keep the male in there!
Thank -you!!!
:)
the dad guinea pig will not eat the baby guinea pigs because they are vegetarians and dont eat meat and a baby guinea pig is meat so they wont eat them unless there an evil guinea pig not from this planet lolx

According to reliable sources, guinea pigs will not normally eat their young. Male fathers can be with their offspring if the mother allows it. This occurs frequently when a male has been neutered after breeding and is being physically separated from mature females (older than 21 days).Yes they do, it's very uncommon, but I've seen it recently where a female has started eating her babies. I think by looking at a lot of research it's usually when the babies are unhealthy.Some Guiena Pigs do when there babys are sick the take them out of pain.

Can male guinea pigs be housed with baby guinea pigs about 8 weeks?
I'm not quite sure but I think it's the same with male hampsters. When a female has her litter(for hampsters) you absolutly MUST keep the male away from the litter or he will start to eat the babies. I am sure that is the same with guinea pigs. My suggestion is do that just to be safe. I'm not quite sure but I think it's the same with male hampsters.

Why do male guinea pigs eat their babys?
They don't. Some other small rodents may have a tendency to do this, but not guinea pigs. Baby guinea pigs are born already covered in fur (unlike most rodents), so it would be difficult for a parent to eat them anyway.
