We had guinea pigs when my son was small. Their names were Jezebel and GE(short for Gail Elsworth, my dad's name)and they were so much fun! I bred them twice, each time she had 4 babies. They were adorable! Guinea's have a pretty long gestation period for a rodent and the babies are precocial, meaning that they are haired up, eyes open and they can eat food right away. They are the cutest little fuz balls! They do nurse, but they will eat lettuce and other soft stuff right away. Have fun! |
