What is the typical litter size of guinea pigs?

Explanation:
Guinea pigs typically produce a small to moderate litter. Most pregnancies yield 1 to 6 pups, with about 3 to 4 being the most common. Larger litters (7–12 or more, or 10–15) are not typical and can carry more risk, while single-pup pregnancies do occur but are less common. So the range 1–6 with an average of about 3–4 best matches what’s usually seen.
