Could u tell me wot a good weight for 1 week old babies is.. Id like to know they are growing and getting enough from their very good mummy.. they have been eating guinea pig food and hay like mummy and Love the corn on cob that mum has free from the local green grocer every 2 weeks..But i worry as its my 1st litter of babies..
white baby is 4 oz
multi colour is 3.5 oz
brownie is 3.5 oz i will post pics as soon as they stay still long enough lol
Thanks

It really depends what they weighed at birth but those weights sound liek a good weight for average 1 week old babies I would say mizpiggy

Don't forget though that piggies need veggies every day. Mine especially love celery, cucumber & romaine lettuce among other things.

:-) they get plenty of greens too, not sure about their birth weight as i didnt want to disturb mummy and babies to much.. They live in doors cos i was worried that it was to cold out side for them to be born outside, but now do they have to stay in doors the whole winter?

[Dawn - Admin]

Will they be in a shed or garage? If so they should be ok as long as you get then used to it before it gets too cold.

Give them plenty of hay to snuggle up in at night that will provide warmth for them too.

Make sure there are no draughts though piggies don't like draughts.

my 2 rabbits are in a play house my children grew out of and i was thinking of putting a table in there with a hutch on it for the mummy and babies guinea pigs as dad occupies the shed :-)

[mizpiggy]

if any of them r boy babies then they will be enjoyin their dad in the shed and the girlies will stay with mummy when they are old enough.. couldnt be parted from them and their squeeky ways :-)

[mizpiggy]

sorry about typin but im producin on a radio station at same time :-) thanks

[Dawn - Admin]

Oh cool. As long as they are in different cages away frpom each other boars and sows will be ok in the same shed but playhouse sound good too

[mizpiggy]
