Question
What is the earlist age i can breed my female guineapig and how long should i leave her in with the male guineapig?
thank you

Answer
Hi Amy.  For age about 4 months.  The important thing is that she be atleast a pound and a half so she is physically big enough to sustain the pregnancy, leave her with the male about a month or until you notice heavy weight gain indicating pregnancy.
Hope this helps!
