Our Guinea pig births on Christmas - some blood visible

Our female Guinea pig, named Seed, went into labor today. She was pregnant with 6 babies or "pups", however as of a couple hours after the births, only three have survived. Two were stillborn and one was not doing well and has passed away.

Those wood chips look painful or uncomfortable. The Guinea pigs could also get splinters in their eyes and cause problems. I use a different softer bedding for mine and small fleece blanket for my piggies's bedroom

These are sawdust, common bedding for guinea pigs. There are no fleece blankets in nature either.  Auf Google nach diesen Inhalten suchen

You have way to many guinea pigs in that tiny cage you need a bigger cage or multiple small cages

Is that the most beautiful Christmas?

What are you going to name the baby

[@jonbuder]

I think we will adopt them out. The food they eat adds up, we started with 3 pigs and we have kept her first 2 offspring. So it is up to the new owners.

I like the music but so sad some didnt live.

But why? Didn’t the human rub them and get them breathing again? This was sad.
