My Pregnant Guinea Pig in the same cage

Question
Will my male Guinea Pig hurt the new babies? Or should I take him out of the cage?

Answer
Hello Suzanne!
You really need to take the male out of the females cage, he might hurt the babies but more so important he can breed the female back and you don't want her bred back that quick!
It is way to hard on the female to be bred back right after she had pups!
So take the male out and let the female enjoy her pups, also some information:
A female cavy can be bred back as soon as 1 hour after having pups!
Feel free to ask any questions!
Thank you,
Holly
