My male guinea pig is biting the babies why ? Di I have to take him out of the cage
It may be a sign of dominance. You probably should separate any males from femaies, especially the "father" guinea pig from the babies seeing how they will most likely try to mate with any female babies. If there are any male babies, and the father keeps attacking them as well, then you might have to separate him all together.
Everyone that is on here telling you to take the male out...is telling you the absolute right thing to do...the male will eat the babies...same thing goes for any gerbil,hampster,pet mice, rats...etc...dichihuahua
the male is tryng to win over his territory. if you dont take him out he will eat all the babies, trust me, it happened in my biology class, and was so sad.
Yes whenever those types of animals have babies you take the male out of the cage because the male will eat them. SAME THING FOR HAMSTERS ETC.
Yes, take him out - they don't take a role in bringing up the babies, and he could easily end up eating them.
He'll end up eating the babies...take him out and give the mom a break from protecting them!!

Most males do not play a part in raising the babies. Male cats will kill kittens.
The baby pig may said or done some thing wrong to his mother. thats why...
