Question
hi.
my guinea pig had 4 babies about 5 weeks ago 2 females and 2 males. i have taken the males to live with my auntie but i feel like i shouldn't have because they might be too young.
she rings up and tells me they keep crying for there mum and it upsets me.
when will they get over it? and also we have kept the other females so there is now 3 females in the cage. is it likly for the females to fight?  and will the males fight? thank you

Answer
5 weeks is fine, pups are usually weaned and able to be placed when they are 3 weeks. They will cry for awhile but they will get over it, they may also be crying for other things like food, hay, veggies and possibly a larger cage.

If the females (and males) have enough room, they should not fight.
