Expert Answer

A female guinea pig should wait about 3 months after giving birth before becoming pregnant again. She comes into heat right after birth with high mating success, but immediate mating harms her and risks miscarriage or birth defects.

Waiting 3 months lets her body recover and nursing end, which is best for her and the pups.
