It may be a sign of dominance. You probably should separate any males from femaies, especially the father guinea pig from the babies seeing how they will most likely try to mate with any female babies. If there are any male babies, and the father keeps attacking them as well, then you might have to separate him all together.

Yes, take him out - they don't take a role in bringing up the babies, and he could easily end up eating them.

Yes whenever those types of animals have babies you take the male out of the cage because the male will eat them. SAME THING FOR HAMSTERS ETC.

Most males do not play a part in raising the babies. Male cats will kill kittens.
