A male and a female guinea pig together in cage

A male and a female guinea pig together in cage2007-11-24 21:57:17

I gave my male guinea pig a little bit of company. he purs when he is around her. good but I'm not sure if she is enjoying being with him. I separate them last night cause they were quite loud. when a female is separated, she wont eat, she wont move, no sounds, she will be standing still like a toy, even if I hold her she doesnt do anything that much. but when she is together with him, she is wild, she eats, she moves, she does the sounds. is my female guinea pig enjoying with him?

ok, what about when they will mate? I just bought them, they are young. when will they mate? how many times? per year? how many babies can I expect? or should I just separate them or nutter? we have cows, so maybe I could ask a vet next time about it (if they know about them).

btw none of them squeaks. nothing. they do some sounds but its not that usual sqeaking. maybe a way to my home scared both of them?

Before I even say anything about breeding...

Let's hope that you didn't bring in sicknesses to you male pig. If you had read the links that many of us have given you, you would have read that new pigs MUST be quarantined for at least 3 weeks to ensure that everyone is healthy. You have already risked both your pigs lives.

Now..

Once again, had you read any of the links given before, you would have read about breeding. It is very possible that she's already pregnant. It happens in about 1 second. Now you've put her life in danger. ( both pigs lives in danger, sound like a good idea?) 1 in 5 guinea pigs ( under 8 months old) will die giving birth. After that age, the chance of death doubles.
