[Gpdd] [CARE] Comforting a baby guinea pig

[Morticia44 at aol.com]

Hi everyone,

I tried to separate Hunter from his mother Fiona and sister Holly this 
weekend. That has to be one of the hardest things I have had to do. All he does is 
high pitched squeel/squeak, he tries to get in his food bowl to see his mother 
and sister in the other cage. He is only 3 weeks old.

Is there anything I can do to ease this transition for him? I put a little 
stuffed animal in the cage with him and a few toys with his mothers scent on it. 
I have the cages next to each other so he can see mom and sis.

I would put his sister in with him but I'm afraid he would get her pregnant. 
I have tried petting him and talking to him, soft classical music. 

I don't know who is taking this harder him or me. Any suggestions would be 
appreciated.
