Does a male guinea pig kill babies?

Answer 1

it is very uncommon that females fight, its mostly males that fight.

if your female guinea pigs are fighting, separate them as they will fight until the other backes down or gets seriusly injerd.

guinea pigs are herd animals which mean's they like the company.

resons why your female guinea pigs might fight:

1) there finding the domanant female

2) the one female guinea pig is pregnent or has babys

3) one of the guinea pigs may be tretaning the other

4) one guinea pig may have never seen or met another guinea pig, so it could be scared

5) the guine pig is hurt and wants nothing to do with other guinea pigs

6) if the guinea pig is meen to you it is likely it wont like other guinea pigs

7)if the guinea pig is new and scared it may neglect or fight the other guinea pig

8) bad experiances with guinea pigs or animals

9) if there are already a pair of females and you put a third in, they may gang up on the other and seriusly hurt or kill it.

hope i helped,

thank you

Answer 2

Typically no. In fact the opposite may occur. Usually the female at this point will not want the male anywhere near her and at times will attack the male.

Also When You Think That Your Guinea Pig is over halfway through pregnancy you should separate the male Guinea Pig from The Female Because The male Might Squish the babys good luck!

Answer 3

Yes, male and female guinea pigs can get along BUT they WILL breed CONSTANTLY! It is not recommended that you keep them together because they reproduce so quickly. WARNING: If you keep them in the same cage, it will only take about a year for you cute couple to turn into a family of 150 pigs!

Answer 4

Guinea pigs are like people. Some will fight but most don't. I have one female guinea pig that will fight with any male guinea pig and another female that will not fight. But unless you want a pregnant guinea pig I suggest you don't mix them.

Answer 5

Male guinea pigs don't normally kill the babies. They should be moved out before the female gives birth, though, as they can make the female pregnant again straight away, immediately after she gives birth.

Answer 6

male and females will live beside each other happily as long as they are neutured or wanting to be bred.

Answer 7

They may not get on so you would have to separate them before something bad happens.
