ANSWER: Hello!
Okay, you cant really tell until the day comes. Guinea pigs are pregnant for 2 - 2 1/2 months so wait it out.

QUESTION: Thnx..... I'll just wait and see :) I just hope "she" isn't too old and will die.... but the babies would be pretty cute :D and I just got told by my sister that Lenny (my boy guinea) was ummm ya doing that to Oreo (my suspected girl guinea pig) again... sooo ya. How old is too old for a guinea pig to be pregnant and have babies? I'm worried about "her".

Answer
Well the best time to mate is 4-6 months old. Guinea females can become pregnant at 2 weeks though. After one year the hip bones fuse up and are difficult to be moved apart when the birth happens. This presents risks like the babys dying from strangulation or becoming mildly deformed.
I have had one of my female GPs (Runway) live through a birth with 4/5 babys surviving and she is 2 years old. So chin up and lets hope for the best!
