🐹 **GUINEA PIG MATH… RESCUE EDITION** 🐹
Five weeks ago, one of our foster families took in **2 female guinea pigs**.
Two.
Female.
Guinea pigs.
Since guinea pigs are pregnant for approximately **10 weeks**, we figured we had plenty of time to get everyone settled and make sure they were healthy.
What we DIDN’T realize was that one of those girls apparently arrived with **three tiny passengers already on board.** 😂
Fast forward to this morning…
**Foster mom wakes up to THREE BABIES.** 😳🐹🐹🐹
Because apparently rescue math works like this:
2 guinea pigs + 5 weeks = **SURPRISE, HERE’S 3 MORE!** 🤦♀️😂
Mom and babies are doing great, and we’ll be watching these little nuggets grow over the next few weeks. Once they’re old enough and ready, they’ll be looking for their forever homes. ❤️
**Lesson learned:** When you take in female guinea pigs, apparently you also take your chances with a surprise litter. 😂
Welcome to rescue. Where the number of animals in your care is merely a suggestion. 🐹❤️
