Mostly False Biology

No external evidence found to verify or refute this claim. The provided sources discuss guinea pig pregnancy but do not address the concept of a guinea pig 'changing its mind' about motherhood, which is likely a misunderstanding of animal behavior.

False Biology
The cubs are absorbed inside if a guinea pig changes its mind about motherhood.
Guinea pig biology does not support the idea that a mother can absorb fully formed pups inside her due to a change in decision about motherhood. Sources on guinea pig reproduction do not corroborate this idea.

False Biology
Cubs are preserved for several years if a guinea pig changes its mind about motherhood.
This claim lacks scientific evidence. Guinea pigs give birth to live young, and there is no biological process in guinea pigs that would preserve cubs 'for several years' if the mother changes her mind about motherhood.
