Whats the earliest i can mate a male guinea pig?

Question

is it the same age as the female? and what happens if you mate them too young? could you mate them too young? or if you put them by eachother when their young will they not mate?

Answer 1

honestly i have had rodents for a LONG time,And they can start breading as young as two weeks.

Answer 2

Guinea pigs are designed to breed early. If you breed them too late (usually 6 months) the female's hips fuse, and she cannot push out the baby. The mother and the baby would die. You should learn about determining the s*x of the babies at www.guinealynx.info.

Answer 3

Never.

Why are you breeding? Think about it. Breeding is not a game... it's not a matter of just putting a male and female animal together. Mess with the wrong genes and breed the wrong animals and you could end up with some very sick babies. Do you know the mom and dad's genetic/health history at least three generations back? Pet store animals should never be bred, you know nothing about their health background. It doesn't matter if they seem healthy now or the vet gave them a clean bill of health... it's what's in their genes. There are more than enough small animals in shelters and rescues without more poorly bred ones being added to the overpopulation. There's a lot more to breeding responsibly than you might think.
