    Our Guinea Pig Just Had Four Babies Today. Any Advice?

    We have a white one with pink eyes and a solid orange one a solid black one and a white one with an orange butt. This is a first for our family and I was wondering how rare if at any of these cuties are? Although I have searched the Internet I have not found much in that regard. Also need to know when we can handle them? Their mom and dad are very friendly and I wish the same for the babies. Also was wondering if there are inbreeding risks with guineas? Any info helps! Thank you so much!

    AWWWWW!!! How cute......
    Yes you can handle the babies(after an hour after birth), and don't change the beding(where the babies were born) for a week or two....(it might irritate the mom if change quickly) also the mom might be a little over protective with her babies(but this doesn't always happen) but if it does it is totally normal!
    Hope this helps! Good luck!

      You can start handling the babies once their mother gets them washed and cleaned. After 24hours of their birth, you can do that. Its good that you handle them this early, because it makes them more friendly. Inbred guinea pigs tend to have less fertility rate. They are more prone to genetic diseases.
