The fun of Guinea Pig rearing

On the off chance that you'd get a kick out of the chance to breed your own guinea pigs it's extremely simple and there isn't excessively to stress over.

Female guinea pigs can begin having babies when they are as youthful as about a month. Male pigs are explicitly ready to make the sow pregnant from as youthful as twenty-four days so it is best to ensure you separate your young men and young ladies when the little pigs are twenty-one days old.

Despite the fact that sows can breed since the beginning it is smarter to hold up until the point that the sow is no less than three to four months old and weighs somewhere around 16 ounces or 400 grams. Four to five months would be the best age before you begin rearing. In the event that you will begin reproducing it is smarter to do this with the goal that the sow's first litter is conceived before the mother achieves the age of eight months in such a case that her first litter is conceived after she has achieved eight months there could be not kidding difficulties.

A female pig's warmth cycle, her oestrus, is around sixteen days yet she may be keen on dithering with the male for around eight hours of this and at different occasions will dismiss his advances. They won't hurt one another and the simplest method to ensure that everything is correct is to simply abandon them together over this period until the point that you are certain that they have mated.

The incubation time frame for your guinea pig is between 8 to 10 weeks, from 59 to 73 days. So you will need to hold up a brief period after there has been a mating before there are any puppies. You will surely know when the female is pregnant as she will change shape and wind up perceptible rounder as the little guys create inside her. While the female is pregnant you should ensure that she has sufficient vitamin C in her eating routine. Dandelion leaves and Brussels grows are extremely wealthy in vitamin C and have substantially more vitamin C than oranges. You can give your piggy some orange too however and even a couple of strawberries in the event that you have them.

Moms typically deliver three to four little guys however they can create upwards of seven or as few as one. You may get a kick out of the chance to invest this energy attempting to discover decent homes for them, Remember a few people who say that they might want one of the infants may alter their opinions so it is constantly worthwhile having a couple of additional individuals prepared to take them on.

Ensure that you move the sow into a nursery region before she conceives an offspring. Sows can end up pregnant again rapidly in the wake of conceiving an offspring and she is dependably a plausibility of the youthful little guys being ventured on by one of the more seasoned pigs.

Appreciate the introduction of your young pups and your new family.
