What do you do after your guinea pig gives birth?

Answer 1

Clean cage, unlimited and clean timothy hay, water. good air flow, not too cold or hot, a big cage (One pig needs 7 square feet, two needs 8, 3 needs 10, 4 needs 13 square feet, and so on.) Make sure it cannot hurt it self, one leaf of clean romaine lettuce every day. :)

Answer 2

if it has a baby keep it away from any male guinea pigs for it is bad to have many pregnancies at a time.keep it close to its babys and give it plenty of water lettuce or anything else it eats. don't hold it for a while because the may hurt the guinea pig. and keep the babys with their motherfor 6 weeks or over if your going to sell them.

Answer 3

Hopefully you don't need to do anything. The sow should take care of everything by herself. When they are dried off you should check them over and make sure everything is okay. It would help to weigh them everyday on a kitchen scale, so you can make sure they are gaining weight. The baby guinea pigs should be sexed by a week old and weened when they about 300 grams. Don't leave the males in with the females when you ween them, or you might get accidental litters. If you have a guinea pig that is expecting and is close to delivering you should monitor them closely, but do not pick them up or play with them any more than needed.

Answer 4

take the mother and baby to the vet to make sure they are both healthy and keep the baby warm

Don't try and interfere while the mother is ready to give birth, as this can majorly stress her out. Also, make sure there are PLENTLY of pellets and veges for the mother to eat after her recovery. Also keep her bottle full.
