You should Get 2 to 4 but make sure they are either all females or males. but i should warn you Male guinea pigs tend to fight Alot they fight each other.Females just relax and are careful. If you want to get your guinea pig pregnant 1. Put a male and femael together just them to not the rest of the pack.2. Ask a professional how to get them pregantn. They have to be a certain age, in order to be able to. Which I dont what age that is.
HOPE I HELPED ^_^
it all depends how big your cage is if it's small 1 medium maybe 2 or 3 large 2 and maybe have babies. then it depends if your home alot and always have time to it play with it and give it attention then its okay to get one with a small cage but it needs a friend if not, also make sure it always has somwhere to hide and lots of space to run and jump (pop) they are really harmless shy animals I've had alot of experience you can see on my message board but i do not know those big crazy genetic questions you have to be awesome to know that stuff
Pigs typically give birth to 8-12 piglets in one litter, although this number can vary.
Pot-bellied pigs usually have a litter size of around 5-8 piglets, but can have anywhere from 1 to 14 piglets in a single litter.
A sow will come into heat every 21 days, but once she is pregnant, the gestation period lasts 115 days. She has to nurse the piglets before becoming pregnant again, so a sow will typically only reproduce twice a year.
A piglet's mother is called a sow. Mature male pigs are called boars, while mature female pigs are called gilts. After they have had a litter, they are called sows from then on. This includes after their piglets from their first litter have been weaned.
normally 2 - 3 but a first litter can just be one, it also can be up to about 8. in a rare circumstance i have seen 13 but they all died, if you are an expert you may be able to feel them but do not attempt otherwise because you can harm them if not sure what your doing

The first litter a female guinea pig gives birth to usually numbers in at around 2. After the first litter, the average number of piglets per litter climbs to about 4. The minimum number being one and the maximum being 8.
Pot-bellied pigs usually have a litter size of around 5-8 piglets, but can have anywhere from 1 to 14 piglets in a single litter.
A litter of guinea pigs can range anywhere from one to six babies. Because of this large variation, I find it is helpful to breed two females at a time so that they can care for each other's young. Guinea pigs are very social creatures by nature, so keeping mutliple guinea pigs together is a good idea.

She is called a sow, she has to have had more than one litter of piglets in order to be classified as a sow.

The largest recorded litter of piglets is 37, born to a sow in the UK in 2016.
The males may not intentionally harm the piglets but may get a little aggressive and bite or step on the piglets. It is not recommended to keep a litter with the father and the mother as there are usually too many in a litter, space may become limited and they would be at greater risk of getting stepped or laid on. It is best to keep the mother in a medium sized pen, one that is big enough for the mother to lay down and not squish the babies, away from other larger pigs.
A female pig will have her first litter of piglets when she is about one year old. The sow is pregnant for about 4 months, and usually a sow will give birth to around 8 to 12 pigs at a time. A sow can have 2 litters each year. That means that a mother pig can give birth to over 20 piglets each year! Please see the attached related link for more information.
