Best Answer

A female guinea pig will have 1-4 in her first litter and up to 8 babies in her second litter. Also up to 8 in litter later on. But the average amount of babies born in a litter is about 4 or 5.

If you want to breed a female guinea ppig make sure you breed her for the first tim ewhen she is between 5-9 minths old. if she has her first litter when she is older there is a risk of the mother or babies dieing. The reason for this is because the female guinea pigs hips will come closer together after she is 9 months of age and the babies could get stuck causing death.

You can breed the female as much as you want after this first litter because her hips wont come closer together after she has had a litter
