Answers:
when he's 2 months old.

---

about 6 weeks

---

earliest is 3-4 weeks, make sure if it is a male baby that it is away from its mother by 3 weeks because he can get the mother pregnant again

---

roughly no less than eight weeks old and as long as they are on solid food

---

at 6 wks, make sure you check the sx before putting them into male and female groups. (My fault put 8 intead of 6 oops)
a male will not mate until 10 weeks old !! what absolute rubbish as a female wont get pregnant until 6wks old ! look on the internet!! You can keep the females together of course - just seperate the males

---

as soon as it is weened. Check it out on google. www.google.com

The young are born relatively mature. They are unusually large and fully furred, and can walk about. They also have teeth and open eyes at this time. Even though newborn guinea pigs can eat solid food and drink water from a container, they should be allowed to nurse their mother for at least 2 weeks.

Males need to be taken away from mother and sisters at 3 or 4 weeks (4 weeks if he is not mounting or purring already). They can impregnate the females are early as 3 weeks - amazing isn't it!?
Females can stay forever with their mums. I usually keep them in with her until they have found homes (at about 6 weeks) because there is no need to take females away from their mother. I have a mother and daughter who have NEVER been separated - the baby is now almost 3 years old.
Good luck!
