approx 30 minutes. they have a 4-5 minute gapp between each pup being born, and if they are having contractions for 10 mins or more without producing another baby... you need to RUSH her to the vets! a contraction looks sort of like she has the hiccups :)

when a guinea pig gives birth, it gives birth in peace, so your guinea pig will probably give birth while you're asleep. i don't know how painful it is for the guinea pig, but you probably won't see her in it

From about 60 to 72 days, I believe. Larger litter sizes take less time.

I 've seen it for two hours, or a day. Really depends on how many she is having. Just wait till she is extremely large.

Why do guinea pig die after labor?

A healthy guinea pig should have no problem going through labor. If your guinea pig dies during labor, it could be due to pregnancy toxemia or the guinea pig's hips could have fused (this can happen if you wait to breed your guinea pig until it is over a year old. If you want to breed your guinea pig, you should always make sure that they have their first litter before they turn one year. If you wait much longer, the hip bones will not be able widen to allow for birth.)
