To bad she wasn't spayed Good luck with the bunnies though. What are you going to do with the babies? Please make sure they got to good homes and definitly not to a pet store.

I will make sure. I think I will give one of the bunnies to my friend. She loves rabbits and has one named Reeses.

Make sure to sex all the guinea pigs after they are born, and double check again to make sure that you got it right. You'll have to take all the male babies out of her cage at around 5 or 6 weeks or she will become pregnant again.

Since she is pregnant, keep her on alfalfa hay!

Here are some good sites to take a loot at:

http://www.cavyspirit.com/sexing.htm - that one is on sexing the guinea pigs. Take a loot at it so you don't get Honey pregant again.

http://www.cavyspirit.com/breeding.htm - That page is on breeding. That site is very against breeding, though. But they do have some good tips.

http://www.cavyspirit.com/neutering.htm - That page is on nuetering and spaying. I woudn't suggest spaying Honey, though. Spaying a female is much more complicated than nuetering a male. If you do want to keep her with one of her sons, get the male nuetered, but don't leave him with her, keep him in a different cage until a week or two after the surgery.

http://www.cavyspirit.com/sociallife.htm#Unplanned - that part of the page is on unplanned litters.

Good luck! Keep us posted!

Ok.

I'm sure you already know this but in case you don't.....

Normal Labour should not last long. It can be anywhere between 15 minutes and 40 minutes. There should be very little blood (or none). If there is alot it could mean she punctured her uterous, or the babies are to large to get out. Since she is a "first mom" she may not have any maternal insticts. By the second day she should be cleaning, and helping her babies.

Make sure you seperate the male guinea pigs from the females at six weeks of age. Back to back pregnacies or not good for the health of the mom


Make sure she has a good diet and she is getting plenty of exercise while she is pregnant.She will benefit from extra alfalfa.


If you have any questions please make sure you post them. Someone here will be able to help.

Good luck
