Oh dear - at least he had the decency to bring them to you and not dump them somewhere
Can't give you strong advice but if in your shoes, separate them then whisk them to the vets at the first opportunity.
Poor little things, why do people let them suffer :o
Keep us posted with their progress x>>
Just noted she may be pregnant - not much point in separating them unless she's about to drop the pups.
Hope they're ok.

Oh poor things. That boy clearly was clueless but at least he gave them to you and did not dump them somewere. They need to see a vet as soon as possible. Once the babies are born she may have males and females which would be company for each of them. Make sure you take the boar out as soon as she is giving birth as once a guinea pig gives birth she can go into heat right away and will get pregnant again.

Are you able to keep them? If not once they see a vet you should find an animal shelter who will have them.
