Weaning guinea pigs

Question
I have two little ones that are 2 1/2 weeks old and still nursing - when should I wean them?  They are in a large cage with mom and a girlfriend.

Answer
Hello Margot,

3 weeks. The little boys especially need to be seperated from the females at 3 weeks. The girls can stay with Mom and she will wean them on her own or you may seperate them at 3 weeks as well. Hope this helps and congratulations on your new little ones.
