Guinea Pig influx!!

[Catherine]

I feel so sad for that little female. She was just too young and probably too run down to survive. That is an alarmingly high death rate.  It could get even worse as more litters are born. Little females like that are just too young to have healthy litters.

It doesn't take long to reach fifty piggies if you let them breed. From there to 300 is probably a shorter time than you would think.

That was so irresponsible to let the guinea pigs go like that. I can't believe no one noticed what was going on.

Odd about the ring worm and mites. I hope they are both responding to treatment.  Maybe the older ones have already had ring worm and have some kind of immunity to it.
