Baby Guinea Pig- Sexual Maturity?

[Tubby Custards]

Hi, my make baby Guinea Pig is 1 and 1/2 months old and I’m getting him fixed after Christmas. Well I was wondering when does he come sexually mature? I’ve read that they can come mature at 3 months and other places I read 3 Weeks, so I just wanted some clarification.

Depends on what you mean by sexually mature. They can impregnate a female at about three and a half weeks, but they don't hit full puberty (read adolescent mania) until around four months or so.

If your male is housed with females, separate them immediately.

Thanks for the Quick Replies and I moved my Guinea Pigs’ baby boy out of her cage when he was three weeks. I was just curious at how early they can get another piggy pregnant because I’ve read most places that it’s 3 weeks but then I saw somewhere it said 3 months so I just wanted some clarification. Thanks!

It's 3 weeks.
