I haven't been online too much since DD hasn't gotten her python yet, but came here this morning because I was wondering about your gpig. I'm so sorry! Unfortunately there is a HIGH mortality rate with gpigs giving birth, because the babies are so darn BIG compared to the moms.
How is mom doing? Keep a close eye on her and make sure she's eating and drinking okay. Did she pass the placentas?
The mom (Hope) is doing fine. Eating and drinking fine, also wheaking her head off wanting carrots. I don't know if she passed them or not since I didn't see anything like that. Just a bit of bloody bedding, but nothing to extreme. I'm guessing she had everything cleaned up by the time I got home. I'm just glad she is fine and that I didn't loose her along with the babies!!!

Well, that's good. I'm glad you didn't lose her, too! It's really strong instinct for them to clean everything up, and good for her to eat the placentas, so sounds like everything else went well. I'm so sorry the babies didn't make it!
