Question
Can i leave my pregnent guineapig with a girl friend at birth?

Answer

The short answer to that question is yes, you can.  However, I usually don't, as sometimes other mature animals in the cage can accidentally trample a new pup.  This is simply a matter of personal preference and space.  If you only have one cage, then by all means, go ahead and leave them together.  Just watch them carefully to protect the pups.

Hope this is helpful.  If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  Good luck!
