Awww Poppy and Daisy are cute. I like that.

And now I'm stealing your list idea so that I can crack on with seeing how productive I am! Yey!

Oh yes I like Poppy & Daisy. Much classier than my suggestion. :cool:

Can't stop, will update properly later ..... but I have an extra guinea pig running round the cage tonight :eek: Daisy had two babies today while I was at work, one died but the other is looking very cute I'm still in shock:D

OMG!!!! What a shock.... hope the little piggy is ok and doing well... does this make you a Grandma???? xx

I think little piggy is doing okay, but I'm not exactly an expert in these things I'm still rather bewildered by it all, I called the pet shop and they were very good about it all and said I could return mum and baby, but I couldn't do that, they're mine

Off to look at them again back later
And thanks for that Tigz, made me feel well old :rotfl:

I'm not sure if mummy pig is looking after littlie properly or not she doesnt seem too keen on it but then I'm not sure how maternal guinea pigs get :rolleyes: Anyone out there had a baby pigy before??

Forgot to mention earlier, my isa on wuidco has finally tracked, I did an enquiry for it ages ago and today it has come through, so that will be 110.00 on its way :j :j

Wow a baby pig - they are so cute aren't they? I'm no expert - my mother's were feral so we never got involved in the mother-baby thing - but one of my colleagues is a guinea officianado so will ask her tomorrow. Am guessing baby should be nursing - though maybe they not only look like mini adult piggys but behave like them too?! Hope the little one is OK still.

These two links have some useful info about caring for baby guinea pigs!

I used to breed them. Well not personally...

Mums are usually quite good, but you need to get little ones sexed (M or F) as soon as poss, as they will breed with the mother if they are male. Also males can be a bit territorial and will scrap. Although i had two that lived in their hutch together for a couple of years, and the rabbit...it was a massive hutch and they were all good together.
