Question
i got given 2ginnie pigs but when they arived, there was 2babys both was boys,i got told they were about 3weeks old,because they were all together could the mum be pregant again? i have split them up,so mum on her own and dad is with the babys as they are boys, i do hope you can help me thank you.

Answer
if the father was in the cage at the same time as the mother when she was giving birth then i am afraid it is very likly, if she starts to show then get some alalfa hay nd feed her plenty of parlsey and carrots to help keep her nutrition up as an immeadiate second pregnancy is a great strain.

best of luck
