Well, I think I understand what you are asking. Let me see if I can answer it all:

A male baby can get his mom pregant after 3 weeks, or 21 days after birth. The male guinea pigs must also be separated from the female as soon as you realize the genders are different.

As for preparing, the grids should be double stacked, and the pregnant mother should get alfalfa pellets, but with timothy hay, or vice versa. Its reccommended that you stick with timothy hay because the hay will grind down their teeth.

They can give birth after 7 months, but it becomes even more dangerous. The pregnant female already has a 20% chance of dying to begin with. Are you sure that she was even ever with a male? I think that I answered all your questions. Sorry if I didn't. Good luck!
