Depends on how often the boar is let in the cage, a sow can become pregnant right after birth, however that is not healthy in the least. Also please do not breed your guinea pigs. It is very dangerous for the sow, and is also the main cause of guinea pigs going to adoption shelters.

How do you know if guinea pigs in heat?
Guinea pigs go into heat once a year in the spring, but if you are looking to breed, and you have a boar, you can breed any time. By placing the male with the female you are sending your sow into heat, but there is no way to tell if your pig is in heat, other then putting her with a male and seeing what he does.
