On Thursday nigh after we had gotten home from the beach I checked in on our guinea pig Hobo. He had
been getting extremely fat, because I thought Sadie was over feeding him. I realized he no longer looked
fat but pregnant! Can Hobo be a girls name too? We figured this out just in time for me to do a little
internet research on what to do, because a couple hours later babies started coming. Unfortunately, I think
Hobo may have been a little young to have babies. She had four, two were still born, one was very weak
and passed away after about a day. The third seems to be doing pretty well. He is moving around and
nursing alot. Momma seems to be well to. I think she likes not being alone anymore. Where did these
babies come from you might ask? We had a second guinea pig, Pumpkin, who passed away eight weeks
ago. He was well loved and we miss him very much, so it would be a real blessing if the remaining baby
pig made it. The girls love the baby so much and are kicking around names, but Jer won't let them name
him/her until we are pretty sure it will survive.
