    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

We started breeding Guinea Pigs a few months ago, and got our first litter last week. Unfortunately, the litter consisted of three stillborns - no live piggies.

The only thing I can think happened is there was too much stress on the mom... She is housed with another female and one male.

Any suggestions, other than separating the the preggo mom next time, and getting her somewhere quiet?

I guess lots of extra veggies can't hurt. Other than that, none of my guinea pig books say to do anything special. I had one pregnant pig who was housed with a female and was handled a bit and she did fine. It might just have been a fluke. She didn't get an opportunity to mate with the male again after she gave birth did she? They go into heat right afterwards and it's not good for them to have two litters so close together. Better luck next time!

I always take my girls out to dinner first and it works like a charm. Just kidding of course but Id say its just a first litter thing. Im sure shell have better luck on the next batch.
