Question
im breeding my guinepig. she is 9 months for her 1st time.do u think it will be ok? and when she gives birth she wil be 12 months will that be ok or will her babys not be able 2 come out?thankz for the help

Answer
Hi Amy and thanks for the question,

She should be ok if she is of normal size for a female of that age. I would've probably waited until she was at least a year. A large litter size could pose a proble for her and the pups at this age but it honestly should be ok.

Thanks and good luck,
Ryan
