HELPME
Its the first time we have bred guinea pigs and our mother gave birth to 4 pups 4 days ago. They were doing fine and were all healthy but yesterday we found one dead. We presumed it must have been neglected because there were alot of babies for the mother to cope with, but this morning we found another baby almost dead, we thought it may have been dehydrated and we did everything we could but it passed away. Only a few hours later we found another baby in the same condition and it has died also. We are almost certian its the mother trampling the babies, when we found the last two they couldnt move some of their limbs and were gasping for breath. Also we checked the guinea pigs 30 minutes before it was found almost dead, and it was absolutely fine then. The mother isnt neglecting them as she looks out for them, but we dont think she is being gentle enough with them.
We now have one baby left and don't know what we should do to prevent this happening to our last one. Any tips at all we would be extremely greatful for, please help.
