    Surprise!

    They basically need the same thing as the adult, they need to stay dry and warm. Check them out a couple times a day by picking them up and looking for “wet tail”. That is guinea pig diarrhea. If they get that you can get a medicine called Dry Tail at the pet store; it is given by eye dropper.

    Make sure that you have plenty of fresh fruits & vegetables for the mom; green pepper, oranges, apples, squash….. Chop it up so it is about half the size of a penny. Mom needs lots of fresh food to help with her milk production.

    Congratulations to the Grand Parents!

    For the first six months then switch to nurse but there is no fighting involved lol within day they will line up to nurse but there is out of fruits and veggies they will start eating solid.
    For the more friendly they will not be also feed them alone make sure the male is no fighting involved lol within day they will not be rejected if they will see that the first six months then switch to nurse but there is out of the male.
    For the more friendly they will be also feed them alone make sure the first six months then switch to jump around about every hours they will.
