It is a combination of the two, size and condition are more important than age as an indicator for when a cavy is ready to breed, but essentially they are never in breeding condition before they are 6month old , in the selfs the weight is usually over 2lb and I never use boars until 10 months old as I need to see their development before adding their genes into the stud
Do you wait till they are 6 months for breeding or do you go by weight also?

@@guineapigswithgreg4575 Thank you!
Keep the videos coming Greg, they are fantastic. Would be great to see how to vary feeding between show prep and breeding prep 😉
