Can guinea pigs get stuck inside the mother and be born dead if you are not there because i think it happened to mine i walked in one morning and five babies were laying there dead and then she died.?

Answer 1

hi there lm sorry to hear about your guinea pig and five babies Sadly our guinea pig too has just given birth to six perfectly formed babies but sadly all of them too were born dead lm not an expert at all, but have breed guinea pigs for about 15 years and it really is not very unsual for something like this to sadly happen Five or more is a large number for the mother to give birth too Sometimes this kind of death does not have a real explanation and in a way lm pleased that l was there when the last 2 babies were born there was nothing l could do as l tried they were obviously already dead before they were born and lm sure it was similar with yours just like me even if you had been there it would have been impossible to have helped them lm already preparing myself for the possibility of the mother also dying lm afraid its a sad fact that life and death are closely related and l think you have to tell yourself that there was not anything you could have done because l was there and still couldn't Hope this helps a bit l understand how sad it feels when this happens
