She was such a tiny baby when I bought her that I kept her at home with me until she got a little bigger. But she grew like a weed and doubled in size in those six weeks.
Now, only a week later, Marmalade has just given birth to her first litter of pups. My son Jalen discovered the first two just after they were born and yelled out, "I see babies!!!" We all ran into the room to witness the miracle of birth, and watched as a third little guinea pig enter the world. Mama and the three pups are all doing fine, and are so adorable!
