Pooky gave birth

9pm last night, when feeding them suddenly Pooky with a "squeak squeak...." sound gave birth to 4 babies.

 The proud father for the babies is?
Guess who?

Diasoka : Congrats!! Pooky. 

 Still week and tired


 Just minutes old babies, I think it was just 30 minutes till the last one out..

Some tips..
While giving birth it is best not to disturb them doing what is natural to them, usually if we think that they need some help, only  then we help to clear the white membrane covering the babies. Be very extra careful when handling the new babies coz at this stage their very soft /fragile.
Take a look at their birth record in the past could help you on determine if their need help on delivering their babies. On Pooky's case she have no record of birth difficulty so it should be find..  
You should not carry the babies. Babies should be bond to their mother, so to avoid mother rejecting their babies it is no recommended to disturbed nature work.

These is what we do and know 
Tobyfarm since we have our first Cavies.
Just some knowledge to share to you Guinea pig Lover.
