You need to wait until the baby is 6 weeks old. This is when the baby should be weaned off the milk its mother feeds it. Make sur the baby is eating solid food before you separate the baby from the mother.

Baby guinea pigs NEED to be separated from their mom at 2-3 weeks old, because they can get their mom pregnant!! But they can be given new homes when they are 5 or 6 weeks old. If they are any younger it is too stressfull on them.

What are guinea pig pellets?

Guinea pig pellets are small pieces of food that guinea pigs eat. Pellets can be timothy based or alfalfa based. For an adult guinea pig a timothy based pellet is best because alfalfa includes extra protein and calcium that young (under age one) and pregnant guinea pigs need, but adult guinea pigs don't. Pellets should be available to guinea pigs at all times as they are the main part of a guinea pig's diet. Source Guinea pig owner
