gunnea pigs

Question
how long untill u can hold a new born ginnea pig ? how long do they stay with there mother from?

Answer
guinea pigs stay with their mother for 3 weeks to a month. males should be seperated at 3 weeks but if they look like they need more of mothers milk 4 weeks is okay as long as he is not trying to mount his sisters or mother. I would wait a week before holding the babies.
