nearly a year on from when thorn was born...
for those of you who dont know who thorn was... he was a baby born at 18g and fought for life for 4 weeks... and he sparked my passion for guinea pigs and he is the reason that i do guinea pig rescue hense the name little thorns rescue....
well today weve had a litter born premature... the mom had atleast a week left we estimated... she hadnt been in rescue very long...
the babies are tiny and very weak one is extremly weak and is the runt...
nearly a year on and we're fighting this battle again...
lodes and lodes of vibes please... they really need it...!
i'll keep you all up dated on the bbaies but its very touch and go...
i'll pop some photos on in a min as I'm just waiting for the milk to cool down so i can try and feed them...

Oh Clare, I wondered how your rescue got its name! x) Sorry to hear about the premature litter. Sending tons of vibes xx
 
babies have taken a feed...
lilac babie whos the runt has taken 0.01 ml
mainly black baby has taken 0.01ml
white patch baby has taken 0.03ml

so theyve taken a fairly good feed for their first...
i'll pop some photos on now...
they are all sat in my cleavage at the moment... to keep warm... but i took a few snaps before i settled them in...
bear with me whilst i up load them...

Hope they will all be ok, lots of healing vibes there way. They are in the best of hands.... x x
 
aww poor little things, bet they are cute but not as cute as the beautiful little Thorn was.

Sending massive vibes, they should be fine with Thorn watching over them...

I remember your little Thorn, cant believe that was a year ago. Best of luck with the new babies I wish you all the best x
 
I remember Thorn and am sorry that you are experiencing the rough side of rescuing again. It is always gutting when a birth goes wrong...

Keeping my fingers firmly crossed that as many babies as possible can make it!
