* Pregnancy: Female guinea pigs can become pregnant again almost immediately after giving birth. This can be very dangerous for her health and could lead to complications during labor.
* Overcrowding: Having multiple litters of babies close together can lead to overcrowding and stress in the cage, increasing the risk of fighting and disease.
* Aggressive behavior: Male guinea pigs can become aggressive towards their offspring, especially after the babies are weaned.
What you should do:
* Separate the male and female: It's best to keep them in separate cages to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
* Wait for weaning: Allow the babies to nurse and grow for at least 4-6 weeks before separating them from the mother.
* Consider spaying/neutering: Spaying the female or neutering the male can prevent future litters and reduce aggression.
Remember: Guinea pigs are social animals, so if you want them to live together, consider getting a pair of the same sex or introducing them carefully after they are neutered or spayed.
