Answer
A female must be over 3 months, under 12 months to breed...the female will carry the babies for 8-12 weeks...the babies will be weaned in 3-4 weeks, they are born, fully furred, eyes open,and they will be eating solid food in a few days!

There aren't very many tricks you can teach a guinea pig...you can teach them to "speak for food"...

Good luck
