1)breed your female guinea pigs with a male

2)make sure your female (sow) is at least 5 months and no older than 8 months or your guinea pig will die.

3)feed your sow 2x more vitamin C and add half a tum in your sows drinking water to help her birth state

4)your sow will get very round and pear shape.

5) try not to pick up your sow at all, if you must make sure you DO NOT sqeeze the tummy of your sow, and hold the tummy of your sow in your palm of your hand so the babys will be more supported and wont get hurt.

6) a week before your sow gives birth the baby's will be very activ in your sows tummy.

7)after 63-72 days your sow will give birth to 2-4 and rarly more babys will be born.

8)make sure you have a 3x2 cage at the least so the guinea pigs have anuf space to run around.

9) when your baby guinea pigs are 3 weeks old separate your baby boys and girls or they can breed and the sow's will die.

10) at 4 weeks old make sure they eat solid food and drink water, if not bring them to the vit as they could have malcalution (teeth displacment) and will have to be put down as this malcalution is very painful and will kill your animal.

11) if they are healthy with no Lumps, bumps, mites, fleas, tiks, lice, malcalution. they can be sold to good homes.

12) wait at least 1-2 months after, than you can breed you guinea pig again.
