Hello!

My grandmother gave me a guinea pig at Christmas (I was wanting one). I got her at December 18, and this January 18 Yume gave birth to two cute babies!

When I was in doubt if she was pregnant, I found this forum, and now I decided to join to show everyone their cuteness.

I uploaded today a video of the babies with one-day-and-a-half-old. Hope you enjoy it! ;)

PS: I'm from Brazil, so English isn't my mother language. Feel free to correct me!

Hi and welcome! Your English is fantastic! I'm not sure where you uploaded the video of your piggies but please let us know so we can see them. If you can copy and paste the link it would really help.

Your piggies are soooo cute! I can see the video no problem. Your english is also very good =)

Just an FYI since you said you were new to guinea pigs. If any of the babies are male make sure to separate them from the females at 3 weeks otherwise you'll end up with more babies!! haha

Do you plan on keeping the babies or rehoming?

I was able to view the video this time and it was too cute! Thank you for sharing that with us. Have you picked out names for the babies?

I wouldn't mind if she gets pregnant again, haha. But not by her son! So it will not be happening soon. I'm aware from that and I sure will separate them by 3 weeks, even if I have to put each one alone in a cage till I know their gender.
I am totally keeping them! I was worried that Yume would be feeling alone since my grandma gave me only her, and I was really happy when I saw her belly moving.

No, they don't have names yet, I'm waiting to know their sex, but I am accepting suggestions!

Thank you!
Yes, I am keeping, and no, no names yet. Yes! I sit at her side a long time waiting for more babies haha. Yume was so fat that I didn't believe that only 2 were born.
I will post some pictures of them with 3 hours old (couldn't wait longer to hold them and take pics!).

Omg they are soooo adorable!!!

If you need name help, what kind of names do you like? (Food, human, etc.)

I kinda like Smores for the blonde and Cinnamon for the brown/black :)

I had to google Smores! It looks delicious haha.

I like Cinnamon. But I don't think it would work here because of the Brazilian accent, and the portuguese word have kind of sounds weird. But it remmembered me of Brownie. Do you think it is a nice name?

I don't know their gender yet, but I'm hoping to be two girls so I can keep them together. :heart:
