um well no. it should be ok. i have a 6month old girl and a 4year old boy guinea pig and we are going to mate them. yes it's ok. make sure the female is under 10mnths old if youre mating her for the first time as the first litter has to be before then or there will be big difficultys at birth where her birth canel has developed and the babies will get stuck which will result in there death and maybe the mothers. girls fight together so prob not good idea!!
What else can I help you with?
Is it possible for male and female unneutered guinea pigs to live together but be separated on the days when she goes into estrus?
Yes, it is possible for unneutered male and female guinea pigs to live together but they should be separated when the female is in estrus to prevent unplanned pregnancies. It's important to closely monitor their behavior and consider spaying/neutering to avoid any risks or complications.
Is it safe if brother and sister guinea pigs mate and have baby's?
well i think its ok for them to have sex because me and my older brother did and if humans can why not guinea pigs Yes... but is it a good idea to let them? I'm sure someone else will expand on this. guinea pigs can deffinantly mate with their brothers and sisters. it is a good idear to let them because when guinea pigs find their mating partner the male might kill the female of the babies but whenh they are brother and sister they have grown up together and are used to each others company!
How many pounds do guinea pigs usually weigh?

Is it a bad idea to put a young guinea pig in with an old guinea pig if one is a girl and one is a boy?
Unless one of the guinea pigs is spayed/nuetered they will mate. This can be especially dangerous to the health of the female guinea pig because if she gets pregnant after the age of 9 months the only way she will be able to give birth is by C-section simply because if she has not had a litter before the age of 9 months her pelvic bones will fuse together thus making natural-birth impossible. Also, even if the guinea pigs are "fixed", the older one may bully the younger one because of its small size.

Can you buy another guinea pig then add a new one at age 1?
There is usually no problem with adding a new guinea pig even if you already have one. The best combination is to have a female, then introduce a new female. It isn't a good idea to introduce a new guinea pig if you have a male, unless you bring in a female because you want them to breed. If you must add a new male, try wshing it first to remove all old traces of its previous companions, as male guinea pigs are a lot more territorial than females.
Would a 4 months old male guinea pig that you have owned for a month fight with another male guinea pig if you bought one?

What is the best companion for a guenia pig?
Another guinea pig of the same gender. Guinea pigs are social creatures that get lonley if kept on their own. Most people choose to keep female guinea pigs in groups as you can have problems with boars (male guinea pigs) fighting. You can of course keep two or more guinea pigs of the opposite gender but unless you want baby piggies it's not a good idea. Hope it helped.
What kind of guinea pig is better male or female?
Well, it really depends, see, if you are planning on getting two guinea pig's it's not the best idea to get two males.. They tend to fight. So if you are planning on getting two guinea pig's I suggest that you get either two females or a female and a male. But, if you get a male and a female , they can have baby's but females usually only have baby's after about 4months of age. But if you are planning on getting just one guinea pig, both males and females are great!
Why cant male and female guinea pigs not be housed together?

2males and 1female guinea pig?
having two males and one female is a VERY bad idea becuase, the males will fight for the female and who ever wins the fight gets the female but, they will keep fighting and one of those male guinea pigs will have injuries so i will suggest having a male and a female or jus one guniea pig or if you do this bad i dea then one day the guniea pig will die so keep the guniea pigs seperate.

Are guinea pigs lonely?
Sometimes when you buy a guinea pig and you can't spend much time with it they can get lonely, so if you can't spend much time with your guinea pig, then it would be a good idea to buy another guinea pig friend. But be careful, sometimes guinea pigs don't like each other and will fight, and if this happens and one of your guinea pigs is not strong enough to fight for itself it could get killed. Be careful! Message me if you have any more guinea pig or rabbit questions!! :D Jillian!
