Butter (guinea pig) gives birth to baby "Mocha"

Our pregnant foster guinea pig, Butter, delivers her third pup, Mocha. 20 seconds into the video, Butter can be seen having contractions, and removing the membrane from the newborn.


Please note: Breeding guinea pigs carries a significant risk and is not recommended. Please go to http://www.guinealynx.info/breeding.html for details.

Butter is our foster-to-adopt guinea pig who was already pregnant when someone surrendered her at the local animal shelter.

Please do not buy guinea pigs at the pet store. Why and how you should adopt from a reputable rescue: http://www.guinealynx.info/rescues.html

So precious! How many pups did she end up having?

I have 10 guinea pigs right now, and I've had 6 more over the past 5 years that have passed away, and only 2 of them came from the pet store, the rest were rescued or adopted. I've never attempted breeding cavies, and I don't think I would - I couldn't handle it if something happened.

I highly recommend adopting/rescuing guinea pigs to anyone watching; they are such sweet, loving animals and will bring you years of joy and companionship!

@VampressOfDarkness She had four, and we ended up adopting mom and the two female pups. The two little boars found good homes, too. :)

IF anybody has any questions about the red blob she ate at the beginning, that was the placenta and it is just instinct to eat it so that they don't lure predators near.
