You have two female guinea pigs one had babies 3 weeks ago the other is due in a week or two you need to remove the male babies can you put the pregnant female in the cage with baby female and her mom?
As long as the male guinea pigs have been weaned they are ready to leave their mother, as you cannot keep a mother with her own male babies, because if they mate the babies that she has will have genetical problems. No you can't keep the two adult mothers together as when the babies are born they will try to feed off both mothers.
Care for a female guinea pig when babies have died?
How Terrible!! =[ If there are any other nursing guinea pigs around, they will nurse babies that they did not give birth to. Whenever something like this happens, you need to find a really good pet store and veterinarian places to provide nutriton to the babies. Whenever my guinea pigs have babies and find out something like this happened to somebody, I myself would take care of the babies that lost their mother and then return them to their owners. Anyways, it doesn't take long at all before guinea pigs start to eat solid food. They are born with teeth just like they are born with hair.
How do you know when guinea pigs are in labor?
They make a very distinctive groaning noise and this is how you know when she is about to go into labor you then just have to stand by the cage/hutch and watch, if two guinea pigs arrive at about the same time and the mother can not get them out of the sack quick enough you may need to just gently open the sack so the baby can breathe but leave the rest to the mother. If a baby guinea pig can't breathe then you need to pick it up, hold it at arms length and spin around (but not too fast) this should be enough to make the guinea pig breathe again. Try to let the mother do as much as the work as possible and only assist if you really need to. Hope this helps!!
