our doe had an unexpected litter today ,daisie guinea pig has always been with her through previous litters ,this morning she was sitting by them and is washing them,do you think this will do any harm ,megan is round and about in the house checking then every so often,Daisie has sat with litters before but never actually cleaning them ,I am checking or sat watching and she is definately being very gentle.,do you think she misses the fact she never had babies ,she was a rescue in a sorry state and has been spayed, any advice ,I dont really want to put her separately as sulks and gets distressed ,megan doesn't seem to mind ,
 
You need to seperate the Guinea Pig from the Doe.

Is the Buck still with the Doe ? If so she will probably be pregnant again as Does are extremely fertile as soon as they have given birth.
 
we havent got a buck ,we lost him ,and was kept separately,megan is booked for spaying but for next week I expect will need to be delayed whilst feeding the kits,do you know when this can be done is it when they are weened,she has had a litter before ,

She can not be spayed until they are at least 8 weeks old.
I would aslso permanantly seperate the guinea pig from the bunny.
Bunnies are carriers of Bordatella which is fatal to piggies, they also have different dietary an social needs, as well as communicating in different way.
