yes, it can happen.
normally mothers kill to put a baby out of its misery if it is sick, or if you leave it without water or food, they will go to the baby for that. Doesn't sound nice, but it's nature, so keep up the water and food.

∙ 13y agoIt depends what you call dangerous. If you type that answer into Google you will find lots of horrible stories but in matter of fact it is wonderful to have babies. Just remember breed the mum with a boy that is not in the family like the dad or brother and only breed if the soon to be mum is still young do NOT breed if the mum is close to a year old because her uterus is closed and can cause a lot of problems including death. This has sadly happened to me.

∙ 11y agoGuinea pigs have their mind set on two things, and two things alone: feeding, and breeding. A male guinea pig will not normally kill any of his offspring, least of all female offspring.
In captivity, stress caused by competition or insufficient space can cause unnatural behavior however. It is important that all animals have shelter, space to hide, and plenty of space for each individual.

Why does your male betta fish chase your female betta fish after she has had babies?
The male will protect, tend, and clean the eggs after they have been laid. It's best to remove the female right after mating and the male after the babies are free swimming (3 or so days). The female will die if she is left in there and you could risk loosing your babies. Also after the baby's have hatched remove them from harm of the female or male. They will both tend to eat the fry's, or baby's.
