I am still Breeding. I want Coco's babies, you must be able to see how different it is to get something related to your lovely guinea pig, i dont know why but I feel that it would be better for me and it would be easier to bond with it and I would be able to love it/them more than ever. Im incredibley sorry if I wasted any of your time getting those link's so kindly for me.

Why would you be able to love them more!? No, quite honestly i can't see how you should love sometihng more jsut because it is related to your original guinea pig. You still haven't answered any of my questions stated on the other page!? I quote: "Georgina have you read up on breeding!? Do you know the risks?! Do you have the finances to pay for any emergency surgery!? Do you have room for all the babies?!" PLease answer these questions for me

I hope they don't let you, as it will be a very silly decision if you do
I seriously don't want to fall out with you over this, but i can just see what a big mistake you're making
Okay..if you seem to know so much about breeding tell me all you know about it ....
What is toxaemia?! What is the risk of the sow dying in childbirth!? At what age to the males need to be seperated from the mum and other girls?! Etc.

Molly, your starting to get out of hand now...
Males can breed wih there mother at only 3 weeks old and all baby guinea pigs an be taken away at 6 weeks old. A sow could die in child birth because her pelvis bones sease up. Molly I cant take this anymore, its NOT a stupid decision!!

I am not going to be doing anything unsafe with the sow, because the owner of the sow has been doing it all her life and is now about 40! Shes probably even more of an expert than you molly and she could tell you everything! I would be sending Coco over to her and she would be doing everything for 2 weeks. She would be sorting everything and its her desicion to put the sow in danger of birth!

My Squirrlie had surprise babies (I gave them to my friend Nina), it is a risk though. But babies are just so cute! Best wishes to Coco and the mommy!

Thanks Kay Molly Im sorry but I wasnt saying you were being an expert, which you are however...! I know all the risks and Im prepared to take them. There isnt a space in my heart for any other piggie than the babies!

Georgine you STILL haven't answered the questions i'm posing to you, please do so.
I can't understand why there should only be space in your heart to love the babies, why are they more deserving of a home than any other guinea pig?! Rescues are if anything MORE deserving of that home!
Another point have you thought of your beloved Chilli in all of this? What is going to happen to him?!

Well he would stay with Coco and be loved by me just as much. The babies would go in another cage next to the current one. The babies would be more special because I could love them right from the start and it would be easier to love them as I would feel I already have bonded with them. AND my mum would not let me have any guinea pigs atall apart from Coco's babies because she wont be able to resist them and know how much I want to love them backhome!

Why doesn't everyone who's freaking out stop pitching a fit and consider this. When you get older and decide to have kids, are you going to adopt or are you going to have them yourself? Because in case you haven't noticed, the humans in this world are WAY more overpopulated than the guinea pigs. So, to take your side of things, I hope that you won't breed and that you'll adopt! There's no way you could love your own child more than you would love an adopted one! I insist that when you decide to have kids that you run off to the nearest 'orphanage' or adoption agency and adopt yourself a child instead of being so very very foolish and making one yourself. You should NEVER have you're own children, that's a horrible idea, just think of all the poor kids up for adoption! How could you possibly even think about having a child of your own with someone you love when there are tons of children all around the world who need homes???
PLUS, do you know of all the complications that could arise from your pregnancy? I hope that if you sometime become pregnant some one tells you about all of the horrible things that could happen to you and the baby and they stand there and repeat them over and over and over again.
gawd this is ridiculous. If you don't like what she's doing, IGNORE IT! leave her alone, already! she has said over and over that the other person has the sow and that it is THEIR decision to breed their pig. Georgina is simply providing Coco to stud. If the other person didn't have Coco, they would find a different boar. Perhaps you should find out who the other person is and yell at her? Quizzing her about guinea pig pregnancy is really not helping anyone, as she does not have a sow, and is not breeding a sow. if the other person wants to breed, she must know of the complications that could happen, and that is her responsibility, not georgina's, or anyone else's on this forum.

I'm not going to get too involved in the argument as, so far, I haven't been a major part in it, but I just have to say something at this point.
Breeding, however you put it, is adding to the overpopulation and the rescue problem. The fact that there are so many rescues near you that you're not even considering to go to, look and maybe get a guinea pig from them makes it worse.
Why would you love Coco's babies more than another pig not related to Coco? I know of a couple, my mum and dad's friends, who recently adopted a lovely little girl. They love her as much as if she had been their own. Same applies to guinea pigs - I would love another guinea pig, as much as if it had been Bobby or Damion's son.
The other night, Georgina, you said to me that your mother would not consider buying a C&C cage, and you could not find a good big cage. Rather than making the problem worse by adding a few baby pigs in to Coco and Chillie's hutch, why not let them have the freedom of a large cage, just for them?
Vicky, I - whom your post had not even been directed at - found your post very offensive. Why should someone tell us the risks of pregnancy over and over again? It's not likely that Molly, Linda or I would breed any time in the future, if you read our posts on our stance in this situation. Also, being sarcastic about children in care homes does not help the situation at all.
