Question
I have 2 female GP together. 1 is pregnant, do i have to separate them?

Answer
Hi Lisa,

As long as you're sure that the non-pregnant guinea pig is a female, then no, you don't need to separate them. The girls will look after the babies together, and it is important that the other female is around to meet the babies so that she accepts any females that will remain with them.

If you have any other questions about the pregnancy, or what to do when the babies arrive ... just ask!

Jenny.
