Question
hi will my guinea pigs have a nother litter of babys she had tow babys two days ago and theres no males ether well if she has a nother litter of babys i want to sell them and how much should i sell them for and should i sell them.:from katheeln

Answer
She most likely was holding those babies in, just make sure that the mom is healthy and eating ok. Also check the babies in another week or so to make sure you have the right sexes for the babies, this is a good website with pictures of male and female guinea pigs www.cavyspirit.com/sexing.htm . The babies will have to be separated into different cages of males and females at 3 weeks old so they do not get pregnant or get the mom pregnant. The babies can be sold at 4 weeks old, the best way to find them homes is by placing an add in the classifieds of your local newspaper, you can sell them for around $10 each, depending on how much guinea pigs sell for in your area.
