The Gills in Malawi

Chloe was so upset last time her guinea pig had a baby as it only lasted 5 days then died.  It looked like the father had stood on it.

We found out later that you need to separate the father for a while and that your shouldn't touch the babies until they are 3 weeks old as the mother will stop feeding them.

Chloe was very excited when we saw that her guinea pig was again pregnant and was getting up early each morning to check if there were any new babies.  The other day we heard a scream of delight.  The mother had given birth to 2 babies in the night.  We have removed the father and the babies are doing really well.  Chloe is delighted!!!!
