Answer
Guinea pigs usualy don't recognise their names and don't come when you call them . They mostly think that you are a preditor. They do shedd 2 a year once in the spring and in the fall.
  Please do not breed your sow , it puts a lot of stress on them. And how do you know they will take care of them ?
