Question
my guinea pig has just had 2 unexpected babies. we have now seperated the mum and the dad. should i give the mum any cheese or milk 2 help her produce milk for the pups or should i just leave her?  

Answer
As long as she seems to be acting normally, and taking care of the babies you can just leave her be. Do give her plenty of produce, hay and pellets though. They often appreciate vitamins in their water also. The babies will also eat uncooked oatmeal if offered. Let me know if you have any more questions.
