* Average: Most guinea pig litters have between 2 and 5 babies.
* Range: A litter can be as small as 1 baby or as large as 8 babies.
* Factors: The number of babies is influenced by factors like:
* Age of the mother: Younger mothers tend to have smaller litters.
* Breed: Some breeds are known for having larger litters than others.
* Health and nutrition: A healthy mother with good nutrition will likely have a larger litter.
It's important to note that guinea pigs are precocial, meaning their babies are born relatively developed. They can open their eyes and walk shortly after birth.
