Starr's Baby

[piggylips102]

This afternoon Starr gave birth to 3 of the smallest little piggys I have ever seen. 1 was sadly still born. The other 2 are so tiny.

Run free my little piggy, I cuddled you before I said goodbye,You looked so perfect, Like you were sleeping peacefully.I'll never forget you.

Night Night sleep tight . . . . .

BIG HUG

I am so sorry - problems can happen with inbred guinea pigs. It is so heartbreaking to see a little pup just coming so close to life.

How much weight are the other two?
Here are tips on handfeeding pups. You could also try soking wholemeal bread in full fat goats milk if the pups are strong enough to feed. Better try feeding off a spoon than a syringe. http://www.guinealynx.info/handfeeding.html

Will it be ok to pick the babies up? I'm scared stiff of doing something wrong.
If its ok I shall weigh them now. What is a good weight for newborns? They look half the size of hopes babies!

You can handle babies from day one for short bursts of time (preferably when mummy is busy stuffing herself so she won't get worried). Ideally, babies should weigh 70-100g, but with your help, babies from 40g onward can survive.

It may be a good idea to post in the pregnancy section for the help and support from our experienced rescue ladies.
