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.
