Guinea pigs are vegetarians. The sows eat "meat" only after giving birth. This behavior of eating placentas is called placentophagy.

  • is it okay to touch the babies right after birth? Like hold them?

  • We held them a couple hours later thinking the sow would reject them if we did it too early. Guinea Pig babies can eat solid food as early as the 2nd day!

  • What was the guinea pig eating??? 

  • @jua3z

    You remove the boar... Period end of discussion.

  • @JDMForChrist You don't have to remove the male after she's concieved, he's completely fine with the female when the female is pregnant. You should only remove him if the female is uncomfortable giving birth around him. Why the hell would he breed if he can't determine if she's pregnant or not? I can't stand half the comments on this series of videos about ignorant and stupid questions about guinea pigs..

  • awww cute!!!
