QuestionWe just rescued a guinea pig that may be pregnant from her son from another litter. Are there problems I am likely to encounter with the babies, including increased chance of stillbirth? Thank you.
AnswerDear Tony,
Whenever there is a case of inbreeding, there are many more possible dangers. One thing that could happen is that the babies would be born lethals, which means they are born with no fur, teeth, or eyes. However, if you frequently take your sow to the vet to make sure everything is all right, there is a much higher chance of successful birth. Good Luck! Hope I Helped!
