Well the Sausage finally popped, and I came down this morning to two lovely big clean babies - I think she waited until I went to bed and had them straight away! Captain Jack who lives above her was very excited and squeaking away with the news.

They are both smooth but might have a bit of a ridge - hard to tell at the moment! Didn't want to disturb them so took some quick pics for now:

Well done Sausage! :)

She's being a great mum, they're sparkly clean not a sign of any blood on them and she's already feeding them well.

x) Well done Sausage and thanks Sophie. They look enormous and incredibly healthy x)
 
well done sausage! I've been waiting for what seems like ages. She must be so small as the babies look huge!
 
At last !

Well done Sausage (and Sophie) they look lovely big healthy chunky babies. Such pretty colours too x)

Congratulations! What lovely little beauties! Daddy must have been a handsome agouti!

Poor Sausage, no wonder, she was looking like she was bursting! She's still half a baby herself... I'm amazed how these tiny mums can have healthy, big babies - my shop bought first sow was the same with her own surprise babies!

Let's hope that there is at east one little girl in there for you, Rosie!
 
I don't know how she did it - she's tiny and they're huge! She's so cuddly with them, and also I've never seen a guinea do this before but she lays on her side to feed them, like a dog with puppies - probably because she's too small to fit them under her in the usual way!

Is it me or do these babies look about half the size of Sausage. Very, very cute but I guess I'm biased. What age can we tell what they are?
 
They do - you couldn't fit them back in there if you tried!

I didn't pick them up this morning, but will weigh them and take a look underneath tonight when I get home! :)

Wow they are absolutely gorgeous x) and sooo big.:))
The baby I bought yesterday looks about the same size.:...
Beautiful pictures of mummy and her new babies.:)
 
awwww....good job Sausage! In the first pick I thought it was a pile of babies, not Mommy nursing the two little ones! :))
 
Oh they are just gorgeous, what a long wait ...... well done Sausage xoxo
 
what color is the brownish one because my gp has that color on him and i never figured out what color or breed he was even after asking xD
 
awww, beautiful babies, and a beautiful mummy pig aswell. x)x) congratulations sausage! love the name! :)
 
What a couple of stunners! Well done Sausage, such a pretty girl too.

You are so lucky Rosie!
 
omg *faints* i think these three are the most stunning piggies i've ever seen! rosie, you're so lucky! sophie, well done you! *whispers* if one's a boar, can you pass him my way asap to bond with sonny? {:|^)xoxo:<>x>>x)xx>>>:)p
 
Don't know what they are yet but there's a chance both of them will be looking for loving homes :{.

Sausage will be coming back to live with Pickle and Marley + new rescue baby expected in june (possibly plus two adult girls that I'm taking from a friend) so i'm gonna be all full up unless I extend the hutch........... I'm guessing that 6 is definately the maximum for my current set up :red.

For some reason the black and white one looks like it has a girlie face.... but I suspect that approach is what got sausage into trouble in the first place :)
