Question
Hello, My guinea pig recintly had babys(she was pregnant when I bought her), she had four babys 3 males & 1 female, They are now three weeks old so I have put the males in there own cage uintil I sell them, the female is still with its mother, I have another female guinea pig she is pregnant, I put her in with the mother and baby, they are seeming to get along O.K, the pregannt female is due in about a week as her babys have been kicking for a week or so, I was wondering if these females could all live together while she is having her babys and until there are weaned?

Answer
Yes, they should all be able to live together nicely.  Well, except for the boys of course.  :)  Only reason you don't want the boys in is because the mom can become pregnant again a few hours after she has delivered.  Congrats on the new babies and good luck on your upcoming babies.
