There may be many reasons why Dutch rats do not nurse after giving birth. Guinea rats need to rest and recuperate after giving birth. If they feel tired or hungry, they may stop nursing. If the mother doesn't have enough breast milk, the guinea pig may stop nursing. Guinea rats may also suffer from some health problems, such as insufficient milk production or not enough breast milk leading to illness.
If you notice any health problems in them, seek veterinary help immediately. If you find that your guinea pig isn't nursing, don't force them to nurse. This can cause them to become more depressed and anxious, or even lead to their death. It is very important to allow your guinea pig to rest and recover before feeding.
