This baby girl is currently being hand fed because her mother died the day after she was born. No surviving siblings either. We're trying to get her up to speed with hand feeding and she's growing pretty well!

We're housing her with an elderly female who seems to be ok with her being around.

How often do baby guinea pigs have to be fed? If it's anything like kittens, I feel for you (we're suckers with a feral cat colony in the neighborhood).

    Currently we're at a few feeding every night. Luckily guinea pigs are almost ready to go when born. She already walks around the cage, explores and try eating by herself!
