So I recently found out my new male is actually a pregnant female (I'm thinking I got her pregnant and my male is not the dad based on her size amd how long we have had her) ive been researching and talking to anyone and everyone for advice on caring for momma Mouse (my 7 year old named her, thankfully he picked a neutral name [emoji38]) Anyways I just realized I haven't really done any research on caring for the babies. So a few questions coming to mind:
At what age should I seperate babies from mom? Different for male and females? Can females just stay with mom? -I've read males by 3 weeks but whata ideal? What about female babies?
Is there a weaning process?
Is there an age babies should still stay together before they are rehomed beyond the time they need to be with mom?
I bought a bag of oxbow young guinea pig food for momma (shes also not quite 3 months old) is that good enough food wise along with orchard or meadow hay and fresh veggies? Is there a certain food thats better than others for the babies?
Everything ive read seems so simple and straight forward I feel like I'm missing something. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!! I recently was able to start feeling little kicks and I'm beyond excited. Little Mouse seems to be handling it well too.
