Anywhere from 67 to 73 days. I totally agree with Shada. It's dangerous for a guinea pig mother to give birth. Since they are so small and the birth canal is small, the survival ratio is about 50/50. Also, there is an overpopulation of illegal bred guinea pigs.

In general two months but the official range lists 59-70 days with an average of 65 days.
