Wow, so the babies are pretty tiny. You should make sure you sex them here in a few days so inc are you have a boy you can separate him from Buttercup. Oreo is ADORABLE!!! make sure the babies are eating alfalfa hay and pellets so they get their calcium. Also vitamin C. I'd just roam around the forum and look at all the different sections. That's how I learned so much.
so adorable! You have a wonderful furry family.

Yup, I just can't stand baby guinea pigs. Too cute. I have never had one, maybe that's why! I accidentally bought my two boys, Darwynn and Juarez from a pet store. I'm glad I did because I love them to pieces, but I would not do it again. I am Travelling Asia at the moment, and when I get back Im adopting a new boy who I am going to call Pho, which is the Vietnamese word for noodle soup. :)

The reason why we are asking is because the black and white baby is a roan, so there is a possibility that the all white baby could be a lethal white. However it is also possible that the baby is just simply an all white guinea pig which are called either PEW - pink eyed white or DEW - dark eyed white, depending on the eye colour.

Here are some links to read,

Can you post a closer picture of the white one's eyes? It looks to me like s/he may be a lethal white pig. They're born blind, deaf, with immature digestive systems, and wonky and/or missing teeth. If it is a lethal, you're going to have some extra work to do.

Post the pictures, and if it is a lethal, we'll give you some instructions.
