Hello, My daughter bought a female guinea pig that was born (the pet store said) 2 month old on feb 2, 2009. We woke to a surprise this morning (4-5-09) a new baby. My daughter is concerned on how to take care of it (she hasn't named it because she wants to know if it is a boy or a girl). Does the mother need special food? or the baby? should she not touch the mother? or baby? (we told her not to play with the mother or baby until we found out more information) Also if this baby is a male when will it become sexually active? when do we need to separate it from its mother? Thank you we use all the information anyone can offer.
