SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!!!...
my guinea pig giving birth today, 2 babies. but, she just take care one of them. now, one of the babies is very2 weak.. cannot stand.. what i must do???

Make sure only the mother and babies in same cage (no other piggies).

Make sure the mother bites open or you can cut open the placenta-sacs to allow the babies to breath at birth.
Let the mother eat the bloody sacs, full of nutrients, antibodies & calcium she desperately needs.

Make sure flooring is not any metal or alloy (cold / cuts).

Do not simply touch the babies until you have enough mamapig's scent, else she may reject them; scaring her will also make her nervous to her own babies.

Create a hiding corner for warmth and cuddling, especially the babies must be protected with warmth.

3 times more food, especially the below:

Biting FRESH non-toxic grass.
Complete Food big pallets
Mixed granules, mixed smaller pallets.
Fresh fruits, and to remove any non fresh.
Fresh vegetables, selective, and not too watery type.
Feed at least 3 - 5 times day, the babies should open their eyes within an hour, and start nibbling food within a day, especially milk feeding.

Create a new water drinking level for the babies. Inspect for hygiene.

As for the little baby 'being left out', make sure the mother has her scent on both of them equally. Stroke the sow your usual way you play and bond with her during all the normal times, she does recognize you and knows you are caring for her. Then move the babies under each side of her leg-pits, very important to keep warm. Also make sure the mother doesn't confuse her 'placenta' with her baby if sitll covered in blood, else she may bite 'it' the baby.

oh, btw, make sure your piggies have a quiet, well ventilated (but absolutely not windy) place to chill, so the sow gets to rest much often, digests tons of food, and produce lots of milk - as her babies will be bugging her all the time.

congrats!

Also, here are my few new born ABBYRUVIANS (or sheby mini yaks) for the upcoming Chinese New Year hehehe!

Supposed to look "golden gold" those hair, a rare trait from a rare boar father... prob computer or camera colorblind...

Will post more photos prob during the week.

female and female in a cage no problem.. Jus tat some time the other female will kepo kepo go check out the mom feeding which might provoke the mom.. They actually help the new GPs not by breast feed them but in life lesson.. Where to poo,pee,eat,drink.. Behaviour also.. Wat food good.. Sleeping pose, social or anti social.

Kaviana:
most properly soil by his/her pee stain.. So jus give her a warm bath.. Use baby johnson shampoo.. After tat blow dry and sprinkle some johnson baby talcum on it fur and comb it straight... Each week jus giv it a talcum bath and comb again.. But make sure u dont kena their eye and nose la.. The talcum is jus to absorb any moisture and ease the combing process..btw.. Urs cage bedding is toilet mat type is it.. For shelties or any long fur type i recommend u change ur bedding to cloth type or fleece type.. Tis will not soil their fur much compare to the other bedding..

thank you so much ZhuZhuStuds.. very good information.. i just separate the mother and unlucky baby, bcos the mother like to trample her. now i just feeding the baby my self. can i do that, or i must just leave the baby with her mother. the mother does don't like the baby.

ah, your sow must have missed out out her last pregnancy month with you... you supposed to talk to her, calm her, massage her sides-belly, "sayang" and etc. with her during her last trimester, so she becomes calm, feels safe in her habitat, and automatically will care for her babies.

(i)
PM-ed you how to let them all have the same scent as their momo sow.
Stroke each and everyone of them (head to fur above ears) while they are together, this also lets the mom knows you care for them all as a group, and shares the same smell.

Meanwhile, once all 3 of them are used to your hand scent, you can start catching each one of the babies to feed them [while facing you] on your palm, use long vege food, so they can nibble while learning to be comfortable with you.

Trampling is the calmness factor, need time to build her, she sees a foreign scent snuffle trying to poke her sensitive tummy... and scurries away trumpling the baby. Apply the same scent from the other baby to the 'abandanoed' one. You've gotta bridge the gap and put it into her head.
Spend time to observe and watch, as long as the sow doesn't attack or eat her, there's still chance she'll accept it. Mother's milk is the BEST thing, contains all the good stuffs.

(ii)
And you can start preparing mini sized fresh food, i.e. long carrot slices less than 2mm thick, chosen vege's sprouts (head), fresh grass (Mandarine called cow hay in M'sia).
If you can read Mandarin-Chinese, can email you our own e-books meant for the Chinese readers too.

(iii)
Remove any unfresh food. You can temporary use flat beddings, or watch out for the babies' legs fall under netted cages. Let the monkies see monkey learn where to drink, make an extra watering tube for their 3+ inch height, if they ve to stand tall to drink, will choke.

Guys, i have double check with gp experts that all of 3 gp babies are female. Right now i still separating Jojo the father in one cage and Abby and her girls in one cage. I will keep separating for 3 months from delivery. After that i am planning to mix them all but i dont know can or not. How if the father breed with her daughters? Can this be allowed in gp world? I hope somebody here can answer me. Thank you.

wow.. banyak rare wor.. all female.. usually all male punya .. hahaha... it is best u jus mix the father with mother back while the daughter with themselves.. inbreed is not advisable ... becos they tend to become smaller , prone to sickness, and their variety become smaller as less genetic makeup in the gene pool

Hantar pergi potong je la senang!

wei.. the cloth u looking for last time is there is the thread i posted above.. they selling at a cheaper price than i bought tat day.. and alot of design also..

I'm actually confused on which size to buy. LOL

the smallest size 1.. the seller is a nice person maybe u can ask her to bring out the collection to go COD.. i m planing to browse this weekend if i m able.. hahaha.. but not very sure able or not 1st..

tq, so that is inbreed. Looks like i have to find another male.

Can i mix one mature male with 3 females? Will the females fight for the male?

Added on January 24, 2011, 10:35 pmemino do u mean neuter the male or female? Do u know any vet in malaysia who are capable to neuter gp? I read that gp is small animal and neuter surgery is risky. But i dont know actually. Any guys here have neuter their gp?
