After the guinea pig goes into labor, she should not be touched, and for seven days after she has her babies, neither her or the babies should be handled at all except for if the food dish or water bottle are empty.

How long should the father rabbit stay away from mother and babies?
Until the babies are grown enough to leave the mother and separated into other cages. If you reintroduce the father he may get jealous of the attention the mother is giving to the babies and hurt the babies or kill them because he isn't getting the attention. Also, if you reintroduce the father when the babies are grown, the father might mate with the mother AND the females of the litter and then OOPS... more babies!

Once my two hamsters had babies, I separated the father from the mother permanently, because if you put the babies and the father together, the father could kill the babies because he thinks they will challenge him for leader of the cage.
