Guniea Pigs and Babies?

I purchased two guniea pigs and the store people said one was boy and one was girl and I was wondering what everyone knew about them and having babies I want to know what can speed up the mating process when they usually have babies, anything you know about it THanks
Answers:
Do you know what's involved in breeding and caring for Guinea Pigs?

First off, I recommend you visit these two sites:
http://www.cavyspirit.com
http://www.guinealynx.com

Both are fantastic resources for learning about the correct care of your piggies. Both also explain the dangers involved in breeding. For instance, do you know how old your GPs are? Too young, and the female may not be strong enough to survive the pregnancy and birth, too old and she may die during delivery. Pregnancy in hot weather can cause toxemia (and death to both Mum and bubs). Certain breeds mixed together can produce 'lethal' babies - babies born blind/without eyes and other disabilities.
GPs are wonderful animals, but I urge you to reconsider keeping a male and female together.
Do all the research you can on diet, housing, and care (esp det - they have very special requirements), and I'm sure you'll have a wonderful life together.
Head down to the local adult store and pick up some guinea pig porn. LMAO.

Actually I have no idea...maybe figuring out a way to simulate the season in which they are more likely to mate?

Guinea pigs are related to rabbits, which have the reputation for screwing CONSTANTLY, so I really don't think you are gonna have to wait long.
the more they have sex and lay under each other the quicker the babies are born.
My guess is that rodents are rodents and you will likely have to do nothing at all. Let nature take its course, it shouldn't take long.

However. I found this website below and it says that if you farrow (birth) 8 pigs you will only sell 2-4 of them. Then what? I wouldn't do it if I were you. Read for yourself. As Bob Barker says... "Help control the pet population... have your pet spayed or neutered." Responsibility is the answer.
