They can be pregnant but it is not fair for a baby guinea pig to have to hold up to 8 guinea pigs. There is a very high chance they will die. I had a guinea pig that was pregnant when I got her(she was 14 weeks when she had babies) and she had 2 babies and tey all survived.

How often can guinea pigs become pregnant?
Guinea pigs can become pregnant again IMMEDIATELY after giving birth. They can also get pregnant at any age, but after passing a certain age, they are very likely to die. Even a young, healthy pig at prime breeding age has a 25% chance of dying from a pregnancy. Please do not breed your guinea pigs. If you already have a pregnant female, be sure she doesn't get pregnant again afterwards by removing the father immediately and removing male babies 21 days after the birth.
Can a guinea pig be pregnant even if they're young because I've only had my guinea pig for 1 week and 4 days?
My guinea pig was pregnant toI recently bought my guinea pig from pets mart. I had my guinea pig for 1 week and then one night i went in to say good night and there were three baby's in there with her. Unfortunately for me they were dead. It was unexpected and a total and complete shock. She was only 3 months old!!! LUCKILY though my guinea pig is happy and health to this day. I just tried to push the past out of my mind. If you think your guinea pig is pregnant take her to a vet. And handle her with care, and if possible don't handle her as much if she is pregnant. ALSO don't get your hopes up if she is young and pregnant the chances the babies will live to be healthy and the mom is very not likely but miracles happen hope things turn out for the best, a.m.l they may have been pregnant or housed with a male before you bought it. No, not at one week, but they can become pregnant at three weeks old. Mine had that problem she is 12 weeks and is going to give birth any day now ^ they say a guinea pig can get pregnant at 4 weeks old....we also have a guinie pig who we got already pregnant....when a guinia pig has babys u need to split the boys from the girls at 4 weeks as brothers can get there sister or mother pregnant at this age ...they r then pregnant for about 9 / 10 weeks .... and babys will be born with fur and eyes open

What do you feed a guinea pig when pregnant?
My Guinea Pig was pregnant, and I didn't even know!I fed her the usual alfalfa, grain, and fruits. Her baby, Butterscotch, is healthy, and loving. So, if I did know that she was pregnant, I would feed them the usual. If they still seemed a little hungry, I would give them a little more. But not too much! You need to give them foods which have pleanty of vitamin c in them for example kiwi and parsley ect
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 a month old young guinea pig transfer to its father's cage?
This isn't a very good idea. A young guinea pig will still have the scent of its mother, so there's every chance the father will try to breed with it, or even fight with it. It's better to put a young guinea pig in a separate cage completely.
