You may recall Kara and I adding to our zoo 6 weeks ago... a gorgeous guinea pig named Muncher. Well, when we collected Muncher, I was a little concerned that she could be pregnant, as a male got friendly with her just as we were leaving....
Yesterday morning as I stumbled out of bed to make my obligatory coffee, I checked in on Muncher and saw a new ball of fur... she's had a baby!!! I was so not expecting it ~ I thought that if she was pregnant the baby would arrive in around 3 weeks time, but she was obviously pregnant three weeks before we bought her. She had just one pup (it weights 120 grams and she weighed just over 500 last week..... HUGE!!!) and Kara has named the pup Milky (because it keeps feeding lol).

Kara is hoping with her all that Milky is a girl because there is no way we're keeping it if it's a he. As good as the experience has been for Kara, I'm not keen on repeating it every 2 months.
