Well I refiled her water so she has plenty when she gave birth,I gave her fresh pellets and hay. you dont want to have lots of guinea pig bedding around the guinea pigs private area because when she opens the babys sack the bedding can sufficate the baby.And when the guinea pig gives birth keep a carefull eye on her if you are awake because if your guinea pig is giving birth to 3-5 pups they might come out right after ine another and she might not be able to open the sack so in a few the pups can sufficate.

Not unless it is the father, take out the father 2 weeks before birth as the mother can become pregnant 2 hours after birth, this is fatal to the baby's and mother, the father may kill the baby's if left in same cage after birth. thank you hope i helped
