Baby Pictures

Kinsa's babies have grown so much in the past few days. They are proper guinea pigs now! They have been introduced to the rest of the pig herd and seem to be getting along just fine. I put Kinsa and the babies in with the females yesterday and after checking that there was no fighting I left. I came back a few hours later and found all the female guinea pigs lined up at Kinsa's side, waiting their turn for a drink of milk!! I made a mental note not to leave Kinsa in with other guinea pigs for too long...

Video of Kinsa Giving Birth

I was finally able to put the video of Kinsa giving birth on YouTube! It is ten minutes long but you can see them actually coming out of her and how she cleans and takes care of them afterward.

You can see the video on YouTube Here.

Kinsa Cleaning Her Babies After Birth

Here are pictures of Kinsa cleaning her babies and eating the placenta. It's a little bloody, for those of you who are queasy, but so amazing!!

They have arrived!!!!!

I spoke too soon!!! At exactly 4:30pm, 45 minutes after I wrote the last post I heard some strange hiccupy squeals coming from Kinsa's box and... it was happening!!! Here are the babies! Two girls, Bianca and Violetta Christine, one boy (on the bottom), Emile.
