I am wondering what the final baby count is.
People don't think it over when they put pets together like that. All those guinea pigs could have come from one breeding pair.
Once you get into the second generation the numbers increase at a terrible rate.
I knew someone who bought some dwarf hamsters and kept them all together. Within a few months they had 50 hamsters. They didn't know what to do. I went over there and split up the boys and the girls and there were no more babies. They still had 50 hamsters to look after.
I am sure all the guinea pigs will find homes in the end, but what a big undertaking to rescue so many at once.
