Thanks and God Bless,

Answer
Hi Khristine,

    Mating this young would not only cause problems for you, but it would most likely be fatal for the young mother.  Fortunately, I'm sure your male is not yet mature, and the females are definitely not yet sexually mature.  However, after two more weeks I suggest separating the male from the females.  After this time he should be weaned and ready to be on his own.

    Thank you for your question, I hope I have been of some help to you.  If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.  Good luck with your guinea pigs (=
