No, but the babies are sometimes eaten by the females...
There can be many reasons for this happening but the most common is the fish is in poor condition. This is usually due to poor water conditions and poor nourishment.
No it is not normal. You must be doing something wrong.
You do not say if the guppies are common guppies or fancy, also how many male and female guppies you have, yes as far as the snails and guppies go, one point to remember is the tank water should be above 72 degrees and some live floating plants for the guppies too hide in.
when female guppies are just about to give birth to their young ones they start breathing very fast and try to hide from other fishes and even male guppies as they'll attack it.one more sign is the gravid spot near the anus enlarges and gets dark and just before the birth the eyes of the fry can be seen through the transparent body of the guppy
Provided the tank is large enough and there is enough cover for all the fry to hide you may get away with it if your gravid female is small. If on the other hand she is a well grown adult she will hunt them down and make a good meal out of the 1cm fish.
Put a female and a male in a tank together with a few plants for the babies to hide in as the parents will eat them and wella young fish DIFFERENT PERSON'S ADD ON :) i would not put them in with the parents. Make sure to put the fry in a separate floating container. Then take the female out and put her back into the separate community waters after she has finished giving birth. Then you can just take the guppies and put them in a smaller (1 gallon half filled) tank. Now you don't have to worry about the guppy fry being eaten at all.
Make sure the cage is clean. Also, provide a small hide away in the cage to give birth. If your rabbit lives in a hutch, you won't need this hide away. Most importantly, cover the cage with a blanket when the doe is giving birth.
Yes, guppies have wide eyes. It helps them see their predators so they can hide!
Probably just resting. Often, multiple male guppies follow a female until she's tired and mate with her. (Hints the reason why it is ideal to have more females than males) So since your females have no males to chase them, they are just, in simple terms, hangin' out.
They can hide in them and they can also either find food amongst them or eat bits off them.
if there female brown ones i suggest they hide on sand
A female guinea pig may hide and squeal a little. The babies come out fairly quickly, with a little blood (but no more than a teaspoon!). The mom pig will chew them out of the birth sacks, lick them clean and eat their placenta. If the whole process lasts for over 30 minutes your pig may be in trouble and needs to see a vet right away.
Breeding is easy but yet hard. All you need to do is get a boy and a girl guppy of course. If our going to have several guppies,then you don't get the same amount of boys and girls. You will also need a breeding net (choice) and a separate tank or lots of plants in the adult tank. The plants will allow the guppies to hide from the parents that will try to eat them.
Sadly, we have lives and cannot monitor our guppies 24/7 but if you have enough plants and they catch on then they will probably hide from their parents.
