Hi, I bread from my guinea pig last October. She had a healthy brood of 3 female piggies. I have just watched her deliver again (I missed her in October). She had just 1 baby, I surprised as she looked so big. The baby is doing well and so is mum, very big baby though. I am just waiting for my other sow (the baby girl born in October) to deliver hers. I am unsure how far gone she is but I dont think it will be too long. I love this website and well dont to all the good work you put in. I would love to do something like you do, but I am so busy with a part time job, 4 childre, nusband, dog, parrot and 4 regular guinea pigs (not including any babies they produce). Thank you.

Hi, My female guinea pig got accidentally pregnant because one of my boys sneaked into her cage! It was so fast I was too late. She however fortunately had 3 healthy babies (1 died though). The 3 babies are now about 4-5 weeks old. I definately checked their genitals....and 2 of them are boys, 1 is a girl. But none of the boys are showing any mounting behaviour at all! Neither do they rumble at all. I have 10 guinea pigs and I love them so much. I have taken care of baby guinea pigs of my own before and the boys rumbled at 3 weeks so it was obvious they were boys. But this bunch...don't want to leave their mum and they don't want to stop having her milk. Another problem is...the mum won't let me take the babies away! She cries desperately for the babies back and even the (supposedly male) babies cry desperately for their mummy. But since I was so concerned for the mum, I took the boys away and the mum was so desperate she actually jumped out of the cage! and I was so concerned if I separate her from the babies, she will go looking for them at night.

I'm really worried. I don't know wwhat to do. My husband and I both checked the genitals so many times...we don't know what to do. PLease help.

We love your website and how caring you all are for taking care of unwanted Guinea pigs. We live in Australia and we would like to start a Guinea pig rescue here and also a website in the near future. It would be great if we could partner up with you some day.

Keep up the good work! =) I'm sure those adorable Piggies really appreciate it. Please reply to my question i'm so worried about my babies.

Thank you!

What a fantastic web site, sounds we are not alone when we purchased a  female, with hidden bundles inside !!  our little Dora was only 10wks old when we got her along with her 4 so called sisters !!  hmm that definatley wasnt the case either !! We were worried sick, as not knowing how far gone she was, it was down to day by day, we are so pleased to announce that she had 5 healthy babes, and they including mum are all doing well.

Thankyou so much you have made it so much easier for us to identify what sex are in the litter, and so far discovered 1 boy !! so now you have given such graphic pictures i feel so confident we can accuratley sex the rest.

Arn't they just the cutest little things at the best of times but the babies are even more adorable.

thankyou again

I'm replying to Julie's post from 5/25/08.
If you have a white pig who was born blind or deformed in any way, it is likely much more serious that appears on the surface. PLEASE read this thread about LETHALS: http://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/kitchen/4190-lethal-guinea-pigs.html
