Your cavy can be castrated as early as 2 months, but it is much more successful and healthy to do it when they're a bit older, perhaps 4 months. It also is important to weigh them prior to the surgery. If they weigh 700 grams, or more, then your guinea pig should be okay. Please look at the Cavy Spirit site i've directed you to below.
I hope everything goes well!!

I don't know the exact age that a male guinea pig can get neutered. Call the vet where you got your other male neutered and ask them, they will know. Until then, just keep the males and females separate so you don't have any more babies. Good Luck, I bet those babies are cute!!!

Male guinea pigs are capable of breeding at 2-3 months of age. Keep him separate until he is around 4 months old, then have him neutered. Then he can live with the females. Even 2 neutered males may fight so it is not recommended to house them together.

Different vets do neutering at different ages so call your vet and ask their opinion.
A male guinea pig is capable of reproducing with its mother and sisters as early as 4 weeks old so remember to separate them then!
If there is more than one baby boar he will not be able to live with his brothers AND with females.
Males fight if females are present.

I don't really know either. You should get out the yellow pages and call a Veterinary office if you don't already know of one and ask the Recep. who answers. They are trained about pets.
