You have to separate boy guinea pigs at 4 weeks of age to keep them from impregnating their mom and sisters.
Had a cousin like that
Roll tide
Guess I don’t like guincest
You also have only like, 2 days to do it from when you can reasonably tell their sex and between when they become sexually active.
Make a mistake? Prepare to do it all again in eight weeks with 4-6 more
Well that’s why people used to eat them
Still do. There’s delicious, but there’s not a not of meat on them.
Do they taste like rabbit by chance?
I don’t know! I doubt it. The one I had was pretty greasy, but that easily could have been preparation. I didn’t spend much time in the “eat guinea pigs” part of the world, so I only had one.

Might’ve been happier not knowing that
Guinea pigs just like me fr fr
Doesn’t nature usually try to avoid that?
Inbreeding is a lot more common in other species, humans are the most closely related species on the planet we are VERY suseptible to incest and population collapse. If you look at species around you, like crows or ravens, you’ll find out they’re not just one kind, but multiple unique populations all around your area.
Apart from tigers and a few others which went through even worse bottlenecks
Pretty sure it’s why animals fight when mating. If you’re not strong enough to keep your dick in and fight at the same time you don’t get to mate.
Gettin’ a little rapey there, animal kingdom.
Dick bones don’t exist for funsies!
Not to mention contra-spiral cloacas.
Ducks have entered the chat
Oh… it’s not even a little. Its pretty bad. Just don’t find out about penguins.
we had chickens when i was growing up, and yeah i was traumatized. chickens are HORRIBLE with this and it’s brutal.
Kinda weird, for dogs that would be like if we could becomes parents at 8 or so…
