Pigs do not deliver babies, they give birth to the baby piglets. Nature lets all animals have the instincts to do something. Instinct means: to know how to do something without being taught. The pigs instinct will help them while birthing the piglets.

∙ 15y agoGuinea pigs usually deliver the babies by themselves, without complication, but once in a while, the mommy will forget about on baby, and the baby will still be in the birthing sac(?), so you will have to take your finger nail, and cut the sace open. if the baby is not breathing, then you must hold it arms length away from you, head facing away from you, and spin the baby around once. this should clear any blockages from its throat. once that is done, put it back with its mommy so i can clean it off.

∙ 13y agoFirst she will "groan".....each baby should have about five minutes in between. She should break the sac for them and clean them off... you shouldn't intervene unless she isn't breaking the sac for the babies. If you notice one that doesn't seem to be breathing you can try holding it at arms length and spinning around once. They are pretty good at taking care of their own babies... Hoped this helps
