Reproductive Cycle and Mating

Sexually mature female guinea pigs go into estrus every 13 to 20 days except when pregnant. The v****a is closed by a membrane, which disappears at the beginning of estrus and re-forms at the end (Ediger 1976).

A male guinea pig courts a female by purring, swaying his hindquarters, following or circling, and l*****g and sniffing the female's anogenital region. The female also purrs, sways, circles and licks the male. To indicate receptivity, the female raises her hindquarters. After mating, the male guinea pig grooms his genital region and drags his hindquarters along the ground. In the female, a plug made of sperm and vaginal cells forms in the v****a, and falls out a few hours later (Harper 1976).

Pregnancy and Birth

Pregnancy lasts about 68 days. Guinea pigs give birth to, on average, two to three young per litter. Newborn pups each weigh about 85 g to 95 g at birth. After the pups are born, the mother eats the placenta and fetal membranes (Harper 1976). In order to give birth, the mother's pubic bones must separate, as the pups are large. If a female guinea pig does not breed before six months of age, her pubic bones may fuse. If this happens, it prevents her from giving birth, resulting in the death of the mother and her unborn pups (NRC 1991; Harper 1976).  

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

if the guinea pig is over 8 months old don`t breed as the pelvic bones will have fused and she will have trouble giving birth
