New Born Pup
I recently adopted two guinea pigs which I was told were a bonded female and neutered male… I came to find out very quickly that the male was not neutered and the female was pregnant. As soon as the pups were born I separated dad from the mom and babies immediately feeling terrible that I did not know about the pregnancy sooner(how could I not notice!?) I’ve recently had the babies sexed by a local vet to find out that they are all males! What are the chances? My hope was that I would have one boy that I could eventually house with that once they hit three weeks and keep the girls with mom however it looks like now there will be no pups able to stay with mom as we do not have a local that they will neuter or spay. Sorry for the incredibly long description… I just want to be clear on what my situation is. There are a lot of rumours and myths flying around the Internet about being unable to house two or more meals together happily… But I’m wondering if three male littermates would possibly be compatible to live with their dad now that they are reaching sexual maturity (3 wks old) and will have to be separated from mom to prevent future pregnancy. I should also note that I have two other female pairs that are housed in the same room but of course different cages and I’m thinking that I would be able to bond the mother of this litter with my pair of more submissive female piggies. I just want so badly for them to be all happy and not to have to separate them into different household‘s at least if they can be in cages in the same room …. I know that for males will require a lot of space and I have four very large CNC cages and I’m willing and ready to expand if and when need be. Any insights are extremely appreciated!
