Guinea Pig Mom and Newborn Babies
Like 1 Dislike 0 Published on 10 Sep 2009
This morning I woke up to find four guinea pigs squirming around Sugar, and to my surprise they were babies. I was very aware that Sugar was pregnant but I thought she had weeks to go before giving birth. I did not breed Sugar, nor did I intend to buy a pregnant guinea pig. Milkshake needed a friend so I got one -- and in the process I got many other little guinea pigs. Just so you know, Milkshake is a female, so it's ok that she's in the cage with Sugar. She's not hurting any of the babies but she seems very curious, so she occasionally pokes her head into the pigloo.
In this video you can see four little guinea pigs. Three of them are identical to Sugar's coloring and the largest & oldest (I'm guessing) is the completely brown one. I don't know their genders yet, but all of them will be given new homes when they are around 5-6 weeks of age.
