Nice suprise

Henry-flash · 24-11-2007, 12:20 PM

Its always a nice suprise to wake up to baby guinea-pigs. I went up at about 8 this morning and there were no signs of babies so I thought oh well another days wait, but then went up about half an hour ago to give everyone some greens and found these 3 little ones. I have only got this pic for now, but will get some more later when they are more settled.

Thanks guys

Kim, I had a litter of 5 born in the space of 30 minutes earlier this year, absolutely amazing, I watched the last baby being born.
I only usually breed in the spring/summer, but due to my bad planning and a male who was reluctant to mate at first these have been born a lot later than I would have liked.

im useless with planning aswell.wont let her have another litter till end of spring.guineas r preg for ages though arent they.buns r only reg 4wks.preg guineas look so cute.look like they are going explode.wat do you do with the babies?xx

They are pregnant for around 8 weeks.

Lately I have got into the habit of keeping all of the babies

I have 12 at the moment, the only thing stopping me from keeping more is the amount of time I have to spend with each indivdual. Some babies go onto to live with my cousin who also keeps them. I will wait until I know the sex of these babies before deciding what I do with them. I have sold/rehomed to others in the past and never have a problem finding homes.

What a lovely surprise, they look very sweet

Henry-flash · 24-11-2007, 04:03 PM

Thanks Christian and Toni

Christian, I haven't decided what I will do with them yet, probably keep one and rehome the other two, depends very much on the sex of them. These are unrelated to almost all the other guinea-pigs, I need a new unrelated male so one of these would be perfect. I'm hoping for a male and 2 females <g>
Heres each one:
