Best Answer

A healthy guinea pig should have no problem going through labor. If your guinea pig dies during labor, it could be due to pregnancy toxemia or the guinea pig's hips could have fused (this can happen if you wait to breed your guinea pig until it is over a year old. If you want to breed your guinea pig, you should always make sure that they have their first litter before they turn one year. If you wait much longer, the hip bones will not be able widen to allow for birth.)
