New Guinea Pig!

[Loisdeadman]

Hi all, I rescued a sow guinea pig who is a year old, she has had two litters and only just today been separated from her babies. I have her quarantined and I know its meant to be two weeks until I introduce her two my other two girls. is it normal that she won't eat? I have popes her some fresh veg in her cage and some pellets, the old owner just dropped her out side my door so didn't get much info about her. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

She could just be really scared.Keep an eye on her.If she doesn't eat overnight or she stops pooing you need to step in.Good luck with her

I put her next to my other two girls and she seems so much happier, and my girls are going crazy I'm slightly nervous about introducing them.
