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

If she does survive and the babies do as well, are you ready for all the extra are and expenses? Do you have room for a 13+ square feet cage, vet bills, food expenses, and hay along with everything else? Do you relize that there are thousands of pigs in shelters that already need homes in the US, how are you going to rehome yours?

Your impatience will cost you a lot of money, if not your pigs' lives. IF you insist on having a male and a female and she is not already pregnant, have her spayed by a experienced pig knowledgable vet.

heyy!! did u even read up before buying?? u are not encouraged to breed..it is very dangerous and the baby/mom might die of it...so bestit separate them...if u have a c&c cage its the best because u can just put a grid down the middle..so they can still be together without the risk of mating...

if u just bought them, naturally they will be scared and not wheek..let them settle in first and slowly gt them used to ur smell...and slowly start to stroke them...read up on handling

If you want them to breed, seperate them quick as rodents can breed from just 2 months of age! If you don't want them to breed but you want them to be together, get at least one of them neutured. If you want them to breed, control it as it can get out of hand.

Seperate the dad from the mum if she gets preganant as there is a risk of him eating the young.

This happened with my mum's guinea pigs - he ate them all!
