Anastasia needs a bath.

^ D'aww! Look at that face!

Dahlia's laying around today and not really eating. I'm expecting babies tonight, but we'll see.

Can you feed her/give her water by hand? Or is that normal for that kind of animal? I've never had one. Keep us updated! Hope all goes well!

She just decided to be a jerk and make me think she was going to labor since lack of interest in food is a sign. She's just so pregnant she's being lazier about eating but still is.

It really could be at any time now, so this is driving me crazy.

OH MY GOD DAHLIA'S WATER BROKE ON MY LAP! SHE'S GIVING BIRTH RIGHT NOW! I GOT HER BACK IN THE CAGE IN TIME! OH MY GOD!

YOU ALMOST HAD A LAP BABY!!

I think I'm going to throw up... I just took a quick peek to make sure everything is going OK just in time to see Dahlia rip the placenta out and start chowing down. Urk...

Ummm wow... That's certainly interesting...

How many babies?

One right now, but I thought I'd felt two moving around, so we'll see. I'm confident it won't be more than that since she didn't get too big and lumpy.

Do you need something to clear your mind of that image? Best of luck with the babies by the way.

I think enough time has passed now to say it's just the one baby. This little thing is amazing! It's already up and running around, chasing momma wherever she goes. It mistook Iris for its mother for a moment, but Dahlia shoved her out of the way pretty fast.

Right now Dahlia's still cleaning it and thankfully bit off the umbilical cord (sometimes new moms aren't the greatest). I was just so amazed how it was stumbling around in the guinea pig bed, but then got used to walking, and hopped right out to find momma.

Ahhh... It's going to be so hard to give it away, especially if it's a girl. If it's a boy it'll be so much easier since I can't risk my girls getting pregnant again.

Oh no... I just held her since Dahlia took a break to eat and I'm pretty certain I have a little girl. She's so small and precious! I didn't want to keep her away from momma for long, so pics tomorrow. Dahlia did such a good job cleaning her off. I'm so impressed since she's so young herself.

I don't know what to do now... It's horrible, but I'm thinking of keeping momma and baby together and giving away Iris to the lady who wants a pig. Iris doesn't always seem to like Dahlia's company, though, so I was wondering if she'd like to be a single pig.

There you go Hex. No double post.

^ Thank you.

Oh, so tiny. Do you know his/her gender yet?
