Over the centuries farmers have bred up the pigs to have more teats so that they will be able to nurse more piglets. Pigs have two uteruses and are able to produce large numbers off offspring making them an ideal meat animal. The teats on a boar are an indication of his genetics and how well his daughters will nurse. Thus the old phrase "useless as teats on a boar" is completely wrong. A boar with 16 teats is very valuable, as is a sow with 16 teats.
Average pigs have 10 to 12 teats, some as few as 8 teats.
Good breeder pigs have 14 teats.
Superior breeder pigs have 16 teats.

You probably squeeze your guinea pig's nipples too much or too hard. They could be biting or scratching it themselves , if your guinea pig is male this is nothing too worry about but if it's female and you want to use it for breeding purposes then you should get it checked out.
