I suggest letting the baby guinea pigs alone for the first day or so. After that, you want to handle them (although of course very gently and so on) as most as possible, so that they can get used to humans being around them, and so they can be easier to handle later on.

∙ 15y agoGuinea pigs can have babies as early as the age of 6 months or if you think your guinea pig is mature enough you could even breed earlier, but i would stick with 6 months.=Try not to breed any later than 2 (because of death) unless your guinea pig is a serious breeder (has breed several times before hand).=

Care for a female guinea pig when babies have died?
How Terrible!! =[ If there are any other nursing guinea pigs around, they will nurse babies that they did not give birth to. Whenever something like this happens, you need to find a really good pet store and veterinarian places to provide nutriton to the babies. Whenever my guinea pigs have babies and find out something like this happened to somebody, I myself would take care of the babies that lost their mother and then return them to their owners. Anyways, it doesn't take long at all before guinea pigs start to eat solid food. They are born with teeth just like they are born with hair.

How old pig before selling?
First off when it's first born you should let it rest. It is safe to pet it when it opens it's eyes, but only a little bit. Then when it's eyes are comepletely open you may pet it more but you still can't hold it. Then after 3 weeks from it's birth you can hold your guinea pig. Have fun and make sure you take care of your guinea pig. They are small and playful animals, and love to be cuddled. Thankyou.If your Guinea is used to you then you can handle the babies straight away for a few moments. Try not to keep them away from mum for long though as she may get upset and baby may start to get cold.
