maybe the babies will die but if you don't touch the female's tummy then you will be fine. Don't forget you have to keep away from person that u don't trust and remember if your guinea pig is pregnant it has to have a dot on their tummy

How can you feel a baby guinea pig?
If you mean how can you hold it after it's born...: It depends on the mother really. When mine were born, the mother had no problem in letting me hold her babies, but they needed feeding so i couldn't hold them for long. If the mother starts getting worried when you try and pick one up, then i suggest you wait a while until she's fine with it. Sometimes you could have to wait for a couple of weeks.
