You don't want to touch the babies, she will ignore them if your smell is on them and they will not be fed and will die.

My pal had a Guinea pig and between the pigs ate between the infants. some situations in nature if the newborn is retarded the animal will kill it so no longer the rest will. And if the mother does not consume it in an prolonged time- the parents ought to in all probability get aggressive in direction of the newborn. in case you think of the guardian will consume it or in the event that they're aggressive in direction of it -get it out of the cage- removed from the mother and pa. additionally the mother must be licking away the fluids from the beginning technique- rather gross.

No animals eat their kids.... they eat the placenta only. However ther e are cases, which I have heard from reliable sources, animals eat their kid if there is no regular food source, In this case the weakest one is eaten out. If there is another dominant male around then all the kids from the previous birth from his female will be killed as it is not from his line.

jezebelle has a mate somewhere, and he will eat the young... if they are together, seperate them immediately! Just give them time and the youngsters will move about so you can count them...
