Question
Hello, my daughters Guinea Pig has given birth to one baby a few hours ago, the other baby has not yet come out, you can still see the other baby in the belly. How long is it between the babies been born. Thanks Angela

Answer
Hi Angela,

I'm not sure ... as my guinea pigs had their babies when I wasn't looking! I don't think a few hours is normal though; so if there's still another baby in there, please call a vet out or take your guinea pig there immediately. It could be that the baby has died, but it will still need to be removed for the health of the mother.

Good luck, and congratulations on the little one.

Jenny.
