If a mother guinea pig will not ley it's baby nurse, there must a good reason for it. Usally it's because you have touched the guinea pig at birst or some point when your not suppose to. It happends to all animals mostly. If so, you should talk to your vet and they should give you some kind of milk to feed him or her.

this is most common in inexperienced mother sows, usually on their first litter they pass still born pups or will not allow any surviving young to nurse

you should take the pup away from it's mother and put it into a separate cage with a cuddly toy to replace her as a comfort, carefully feed it on puppy milk with a syringe so that it gets some nutrients. it should start feeding on solid foods within a few days, but will still require milk feeds regularly for a couple of weeks, you should be aware that this is not always successful and losing the young is very likely, and upsetting.

Do male guinea pigs eat the babies?

NONo, if you feed it regularly.Male guinea pigs do tend to eat their baby's after birth , so before your female guinea pig has her baby's you should make sure to Remove The Male from the cage and keep the baby's with their mother . After about 2-3 weeks you can put the male baby's in with their dad for a little while but you must rub a little bit of the dads cages bedding on the baby's (gently) so that the dad does not eat them. Also they're still are males so if they fight you should separate them.Yes the male will eat the babies if you don't remove him (if I were you I would remove the male BEFORE the babies are born) Why does the male eat the babies?This may sound weird, but the male gets jealous of the female and will wanna fight, so to get revenge, he will eat her babies. So PLEASE DON'T keep the male in there!Thank -you!!!:)the dad guinea pig will not eat the baby guinea pigs because they are vegetarians and dont eat meat and a baby guinea pig is meat so they wont eat them unless there an evil guinea pig not from this planet lolx

Why baby guinea pigs look after themselves?

It's different for every animal, but typically, babies do wean themselves. I have animals and though most wean themselves, sometimes you have to separate the baby from the mother for a period of time and then you can put the baby back in. At least it's easy to do that with guinea pigs...
