Baby Guinea Pigs are born incredibly matured (they can walk, see, and have a full coat of fur). They are even able to eat pet food, but, of course - mama's milk is always first choice. As for weaning, that's taken care of by mom. But you must remove the males by 3 weeks or you will find another litter (or more) on it's way. As I said - incredibly mature.

It's different for every animal, but typically, babies do wean themselves. I have animals and though most wean themselves, sometimes you have to separate the baby from the mother for a period of time and then you can put the baby back in. At least it's easy to do that with guinea pigs...
