Hi everyone.

I took home two guinea pigs from work when they were no longer allowed to stay. They were two sisters that have been housed together for roughly 3 months. Now they did spend a little time with a male, but it was around the beginning of Feb. We are having a hard sexing one to make sure, because last night (after having them for 2 days) pop came a litter. 3 babies, only 1 survived.

We have c&c cage, but here are the questions.

I'm feeding mom some Alfalfa hay and the pet store gave me some oat millet.
Is that right?

If the other piggie is indeed a sow, when can I reintroduce her to mom and kiddo. (I can't find info on this. The other gpig was bouncing on the kiddo so I separated them. And to make sure dude doesn't look like a lady.)

Is there anything special for diet I need to make sure mom is getting.

Thanks so much. We are super lost, and want to be good parents. Our Guinea knowledge is only based on 48 hours here, so please be easy. Others have been very mean so far.

Thanks again!
