Answer 1

If you have a female in a cage with an unneutered male, pregnancy is inevitable. Eight hours, eight days...doesn't matter. It only takes seconds for intercourse.

If you want to be able to keep a male and female guinea pig in the same cage, you must neuter the male. Otherwise, you will very quickly be overwhelmed with back-to-back litters of babies.

Female guinea pigs have a very small window of time in which they can safely become pregnant and deliver babies. That window is between 4 and 8 months old. Any older or any younger and it becomes very dangerous to their physical well-being.

Do not put her in with any unneutered males again. You'd only be taking an unnecessary gamble with her life, with the lives of her babies. If you and your friend want your pigs to be able to socialize on occasion, you MUST keep them separate -- separate cages, separate play areas.

You'll have to consider yourself on pregnancy watch until you can determine definitively if she's pregnant. I've included some links below to help you.
