Hi again,
I posted earlier about my lovely adopted pig Daisy. She's a very sedate girl, who seems to be pregnant (judging from the twitches in her growing belly.)
I asked about her calm behavior, and some people suggested she may be a lethal, which she's not. However, while investigating this I discovered that she is, in fact, deaf.
I was just wondering if there is anyone on this forum with experience with deaf piggies. Are there any problems I should watch out for? So far the only problem I've run into is not scaring her when I'm approaching her, which I've solved by always making sure she's seen me before I try to pick her up/pet her. But I'm worried about her pregnancy. Do deaf guinea pigs make good moms? Will she reject the babies because she can't hear them? Any tips would be appreciated.
-Thanks
