Igave them alfalfa I'm wondering if they can reach the water bottle how and when do i seperate them how do i handle them do i give guinea pigs a bath give me as much imformation as you can thank you michael s. smith

Answer
Dear Michael,

Don't give them baths, that is not needed. If you feel they can't reach the water bottle then try to lower it or put water in a small bowl for them. Handle the baby guinea pigs the same as an adult one, just be more careful. Don't squeeze them and hold them against your chest.

For me to give you more information please answer these questions.

-How many adult guinea pigs do you have?

-What are their genders?

-What are the baby guinea pigs' genders?

-How old are the babies?

Go to this website for help on determining the sex of your guinea pigs:
