Does a male guinea pig kill babies?

it is very uncommon that females fight, its mostly males that fight. if your female guinea pigs are fighting, separate them as they will fight until the other backes down or gets seriusly injerd. guinea pigs are herd animals which mean's they like the company. resons why your female guinea pigs might fight: 1) there finding the domanant female 2) the one female guinea pig is pregnent or has babys 3) one of the guinea pigs may be tretaning the other 4) one guinea pig may have never seen or met another guinea pig, so it could be scared 5) the guine pig is hurt and wants nothing to do with other guinea pigs 6) if the guinea pig is meen to you it is likely it wont like other guinea pigs 7)if the guinea pig is new and scared it may neglect or fight the other guinea pig 8) bad experiances with guinea pigs or animals 9) if there are already a pair of females and you put a third in, they may gang up on the other and seriusly hurt or kill it. hope i helped, thank you
