How cute. Mum's going to be really protective of her offspring so let her do what she needs to do and just keep an eye on them. When you get around three weeks down the line, you'll need to sex the baby. If you have trouble have someone gently hold him/her for you and take some piccies for the experts to look at and we'll help you.  They can breed from an extremely young age (as you've now discovered) so if the baby is male he'll need to come out before he can mate with mum (again, the experts will give you better advice than me, as I've never bred before and anything I tell you is what I remember other people saying :  . |

It looks like a tri-colour in chocolate cream and white.
BTW Guinea Pigs do not need the fluffy bedding, if they digest it, it can get wrapped up within the intestines. I would recommend just shavings and hay.

You will find that the other ladies will help to look after the baby.
I have pictures of Lexie (sow that has never littered) babysitting Mary-Roses' babies while she had something to eat/some kip.
I know of some people who have had two sows litter together in the same hutch, and they nurse each others babies.
