My Guinea Pigs Pregnant!!?

Question

i have 2 cages and the bigger main cage where they live are the female and male i know that when she delievers the piggys that 2-3hrs after she will become fertile and he might mate with her again and that is very stressful for her. I put her in our other cage for one night and i put her back with the male because she looks sooo lonley with out the male. what should i do??

Answer 1

Ok, its still stressful for her to become pregnant again straight after giving birth... even if you do wait a night before putting her back in.

The male should be seperated from the babies, and the babies need their mum for the next 4 weeks until they are weaned.

If you are going to breed your piggies you should give her a decent rest in between litters (like, 3 months at least) but if you dont want her to be lonely why dont you get your male neutered? He will still need to be seperated for a month before he can go in with your female without risk of impregnating her- but thats perfect if she cant be put in with him for a month while caring for the babies.

Answer 2

Separate her, definitely. She should be in the bigger cage, though, if she's going to have babies. It can be very hard on a guinea mom's system to have babies and care for them, she really shouldn't be bred again any time soon if you can help it.

Answer 4

My guinea pig got pregnant last year and I separated her from the male to give birth. Once she's got babies to look after she wont be lonely, then if u are selling them all, after they are gone you can put the adults together slowly. If you do not intend to have a giant army of baby guinea pigs then you should take yours to the vet to be sorted out because they breed like mad.
