Question
Hi, i have a 2 week old male guinea pig.he was trying to mount my females .can he at 2 weeks old get them pregnat? thanks

Answer
Dear Nancy,
 Don't worry, male guinea pigs don't become sexually mature untl they are eight to ten weeks old, so you should separate them when he reaches that age.  But if you have any female puppies, be careful because they are mature earlier than the males at about 4-5 weeks of age.  Hope I Helped!
