How long is a guinea pig labour? My guinea pig is expecting 2 babies and had 1 about an hr ago but has not had the second yet.

Normally guinea pig labor should be short, around 40 minutes, so if an hour has passed since Elsa has her baby with no sign of the other, I would take her into the vet immediately. It could be that her second baby is too big to come out, and she may need a c section to deliver that baby safely. I would take her into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see her now.
