Question
i asked a nother person on here and they  said that you can breed her and its up to the age of 1 you can breed them and i alredy have 8 places for the cavire so i dont no  who to belive and it was 1 of the persons that is on this

Answer
A sows Pelvic bone begins to tighten around 7 months of age, and is done tightening around 10 months to a year. At this age it will be almost impossible for a sow to have an easy birth and most sows end up dying because they are unable to deliver, or they end up needing a C-Section.

If you love your sow, and cavies,do not breed. There are many cavies, literally thousands of cavies dying in shelters and living in rescues throughout the world, you do not need to add more. You say you have 8 people that will take a baby, well direct those 8 people to a shelter or resuce in their area that has cavies for adoption.
