Question
Hello kat
It's Natalie AGAIN!! Just wanted to say thank you so much for answering all my questions it's just so hard to find anything about guinea pigs on google! Anyway the babies are really weak and somtimes Chloe (the mother) sits on them or knocks them over accidently it doesn't seem to hurt them but I'm just getting a bit worried!

Answer
Hello Natalie,

Getting a bit squished is what happens to baby piggies. Rarely does a mother kill her pups through clumsyness. The pups are equipped to handle a bit of bonking around and squishing. I'm going to give you some links to a few helpful forums and websites since you are having trouble finding some. Not that I have any problem answering any questions you may have, I just thought you might find these useful too.
