How do guinea pigs give birth?

Answer 1

First things First: Breeding guinea pigs shortens their lives, so be aware of this before doing anything. Well you obviously need 2 guinea pigs of different genders, make sure two cages are set up, but in the meantime you can keep them together. When you have seen them mating, or notice signs of the female being pregnant, place the male into a separate cage. You need to separate them before the babies are born or the dad may kill his young. The Mum will become moody and want to eat more, so make sure she has plenty of food and water and will need a LOT of hay/bedding. After 10 weeks she will give birth over night, and the piglets will be born. make sure they are warm and that mum hasn't neglected any of them. Also, check that the pups can all get to mums milk, and if mum has neglected one of them, she will show this by pushing him/her away and refusing to give it milk. Neglected ones rarely survive, but if this has happened, try hand raising it. (I can tell you how to do this if you contact me). After the babies have got all their fur, look healthy and are eating solid foods, they can either be sold to loving homes, or you can keep them, after you have divided them into gender categories, and bought some new cages for them.

Answer 2

Normally you're most likely to be sleeping when the mother gives birth because they tend to give birth when they're most active which is at night or early morning. If there's bedding then the mother might make a small patch in preparation for her babies. Then when the time's right, she will spread out and push all the babies out. You normally won't be able to hear any noise. After the babies are born, the mother will eat the after birth that covers them (this is completely normal) and they will slowly start to feed.

Answer 3

Guinea pigs can start producing babies at the age of 5 or 6depending their maturity level. I would not advise to have a guinea pig that is pregnant though because they have a litter of babies every 30 days or longer an they will be very hard to care fr because the babies do not eat the pellets because they are way to young and you cannot separate the babies from the mother until they are at least 6-8 weeks old, so if you would like to have guinea babies make sure the mother is healthy,have a nice and safe and warm environment fro the little ones and the mother, and keep away from other pets when the mother is pregnant or had the babies!

Answer 4

by putting guinea pigs of the opposite sex, in the same area, the male will show off to attract females, they will have sex just like humans the female is on the bottom and the male will be on her back

Answer 5

Guinea pigs give birth by delivering their babies through the birth canal and into the world. The process typically takes a few hours and the mother may show signs of discomfort or restlessness before going into labor. It's important to provide a warm, quiet, and safe environment during this time to ensure a smooth delivery.
