A guinea pig's life cycle typically includes birth, infancy, juvenile stage, adult stage, and finally, old age. They can live up to 5-7 years on average, with proper care and nutrition. Guinea pigs reach sexual maturity around 3-5 weeks old, and females can have multiple litters throughout their adult life.
The gestation period of guinea pigs is between 60 and 70 days. A mother will have 2-3 pups and they are born fully furred and able to eat solid food. However, they will nurse for about 3 weeks. Males will be ready to breed at about 3 weeks and females, if they are going to breed, must give birth before about 6 months. Guinea pigs, properly cared for, live about 5-7 years.
you guinea pig will stay a piglet for about 2 weeks. then it will start developing into a young guinea pig. during this time, you will notice a lot of changing (growing taller, eating more, becoming fatter) then you pig will officially become an adult at 1 year.
It depends what type of guinea pig it is. But they can live a good few years
