Question
my guineapig has just gave birth this morning can i hold the babys straight away or wait a while? she had 2 small ones

Answer
AllExperts site has been locking up for the past few days, can't this post through to you.
You can hold them - congrats on the new litter! Just don't keep them out longer than a minute or so at a time, you don't want them to get cold.
After they're about a week old you can hold them longer.
