Question
Hi when i went to see my guinea pig this morning she had given birth to just one baby but looks as if there are more to arrive this is her first pregnancy and was wondering if there is a long space between babies arriving.

Answer
I am sorry but I don't do guinea pigs so I really do know. You can find lot's of information on them here however:

I do know that deliveries of guinea pigs can be very dangerous.
You might want to call the vet and have one on stand by.
Here is a video that might help too:
