I rescued a pregnant Guinea pig who was living with her brother presumably. She gave birth few days later. A healthy litter of 4 pups. It is confirmed 3 males and 1 female.
They are 15 days old now and living with their mother in 2*5 feet cage.
I need to separate males next week as they reach 21 days mark.
Problem- I can only keep 2 or at most 3 guinea pigs.
I want to give away or try to rehome Mom and daughter. I am worried if either of them get pregnant in their new home, it won't be good for their health.
Honestly, I was planning to keep mother and daughter pair (very skittish and shy) as it would be easy to handle. But then, I fell in love with three male pups who are so interactive and lively. I know I might need to separate one or more of them if they don't get along in their teenage months.
Any advice would be great
