My pregnant guinea pig is 70 days pregnant. Tonight I gave her and the daddy floor time as I always do. As always he tries to mount her and before I could get him he mounted her. I put him in his cage and checked her and his "stuff" was coming uot of her hoo hoo. Is this going to hurt the babies or anything. I know with humans it can bring on labour, but I don't know with guinea pigs if it is the same. This is the first time he has mounted her since they were bred in Dec. And do you think she will have these pups anytime soon, I can't wait to see and hold my new little babies.:)

"Uot out of her Hoo Hoo" may possible be the best line I've heard since Pulp Fiction was in theatres.

My guinea pigs have lived happily outside for 6 years.

don't worry it won't hurt the babies. as a matter of fact it most likely isn't his "stuff" at all. it is probably the fluid that comes before the babies. so get ready. it sounds like you are new to this. she may not get the babies out of their sacs soon enough if she is a first time mom. get a pair of scissors, small ones, and clean them very well with hot soapy water. just watch her but if she has one baby and doesn't get it out of the sac before the next baby comes and starts on the second one before the first, cut a small opening in the sac and pull it off. this sounds gross but if you want all your new babies to live please do it!! you may have to help her with more than one. and don't worry she will not kill them because you touched them. i raised about a couple of hundred and they all turned out fine. in fact the more you play with them the better pets they will be!! GOOD LUCK!!!

no i do not think this will bother her or any of the babies, but do not put dad in with her again or in with the young he may eat them. the young are able to see, eat, and run within moments of birth and are classed as a threat to the male.

i lost my guinea pig this way...pigs give birth at nite and the male will mate again with the female the minute she has given birth and will become pregnant again(i didnt no this till i read it)...this happened to my g.p and she died giving birth and i lost the babies too...So seperate them now and do not let them interact or the same thing will happen 2 yours

They should be fine. however once they are born do not let him near her again for a while, as back to back pregnancies can be fatal for guinea pigs, especially young ones. The babies should be born very soon, they are adorable, and you can hold them as soon as they are dry.
good luck!

It won't hurt the babies...unless she's having them with him trying to mate...and that would just be awkward for everyone. Should be giving birth any day now, the average gestation period is 68 days.
