That is a shocking number of guinea pigs. They would be seriously inbred and I bet they were not well fed either.
No wonder some did not make it. It will be weeks before you know how many babies will be born.
What a sad situation. Did no one visit the old lady and see what was happening?
No domestic animal should be turned loose like that.
How are the shelters holding up with all the extra piggies. It is an amazing rescue operation. I hope lots of people come forward to take an extra piggie or two.
It must have started with a couple of guinea pigs and then just got out of hand. Those poor females would have been pregnant at 4 weeks old and then pregnant continuously until they died, much too young.
