Answer
Hi Kathleen, and happu birthday to your piggy.

A guinea pig is considered an adult when she is old enough to mate. Therefore we are talking the age of 4 months old.

PS Just in case you were considering breeding, when a female gets to the age of 9 months old, she is actually too old to have babies for the first time as her pelvic bones has begun to fuse together.
