Q: The mare will need plenty of room to have her foal so pick a large stall if you are going to stable her during this period. If you prefer, a mare has no problem having a foal outside in a grassy area away from the stable, but having her in the stable does allow you to provide supervision for the birth more easily. With an outdoor area, make sure it's grassy and fenced in so you can get to your mare if you need to. Keep the mare separate from other horses so it isn't stressed during birth. Sweep out any debris from the stall and scrub down the floor with soap and hot water. Let it dry out, then apply a disinfecting solution to the floor. Leave the solution on the floor to dry. For a disinfecting solution, you can use a bleaching solution that's at least 10% bleach. Cleaning a clay or dirt floor is more difficult than other types of floors. Sweep the stall out and clean it as well as you can. You also can't clean an outdoor area, but the grass should provide a somewhat clean area for a mare to have a baby. Clean manure out of the paddock daily to keep it clean and clear. The straw will provide an area for the mare to lay down in, as well as a safe landing place for the foal. Don't use shavings for bedding, as the foal will be covered in moisture and the shavings may adhere to it. A foal can also inhale shavings, preventing it from breathing. Horses are fairly hearty, but if you live in an area that stays cold well into spring, it's a good idea to provide heat for the stable. Check the cord for fraying and make sure to put it where the horse can't get to it. Hang the lamp high enough so it doesn't burn your foal or become a fire hazard. You really only need to do this if temperatures are below freezing, and even then, it may not be necessary. However, your mare should be inside to give birth when the temperatures outside are freezing or below. Mares often go into labor at night, so a monitoring system lets you keep an eye on her. It will warn you if she's going into labor so that you can go out to provide supervision. Some of these systems are actually attached to the horse, and they set off an alarm when the horse goes into labor. With these alarms, though, your vet will need to suture it to the horse's vulva area to set off the alarm when the mare is giving birth. If something goes wrong, you may need to take your horse into a vet hospital. If that's the case, you need to know who you'll call and how you'll get the horse there. Have the numbers written down and ready to go. Practice loading your mare into the trailer in the months leading up to the foal's birth. This will help make the mare more comfortable if you need to haul it. If you can't haul the horse yourself, make arrangements with someone you know who has a rig to haul your horse. Have their number on hand. Call a few days ahead to make sure the hospital will be open and ready.
A: Pick a stall that's at least 14 by 14 feet (4.3 by 4.3m). Clean and disinfect the floor if possible. Lay clean bedding of straw down on the floor. Provide a heat lamp if you live in a very cold area. Add a video or foal alarm if you'd like to monitor your mare at a distance. Make plans for how you'll haul the horse if you need to.

Q: If your guinea pig is docile, you can simply pick it up and place it in the carrier. Usually, you put one hand under the guinea pig's belly and one under the guinea pig's hind legs. If the guinea pig is skittish, you may need to have a stronger grip on the guinea pig. Corner it in its cage and get ahold of it as you would with a more docile guinea pig, but hold on a little tighter. Make sure the carrier is very close by, so you can quickly move the guinea pig straight into the carrier. Once the guinea pig is inside of the carrier, close it properly. Make sure the carrier is secure and your guinea pig is as comfortable as possible. You can put two guinea pigs in the same carrier. If you are traveling with more than one guinea pig, it is perfectly fine to put them both together in one carrier. However, you must keep checking on them both to see if they are getting along. Good locations include in a footwell (it may be warmer here than the rest of the car) or on a seat with the seat belt fastened. Bad locations include places where the carrier will slide around and jolt when you stop, near the heating and air-conditioning (because it could be too hot or too cold), in the trunk, or on someone's lap (in the event of a crash, the carrier could harm the person holding it). Also make sure that your guinea pig's cage will not be in the sun while you drive. This can quickly lead to the guinea pig getting overheated. You should also avoid putting your guinea pig's cage next to your stereo speakers if you are planning on playing your stereo. Guinea pigs are sensitive to sound, so they should not be exposed to loud sounds from your car stereo. Begin to drive slowly and then pick up speed as if not to startle the guinea pig. Take turns slowly and try to make all driving adjustments, such as braking, gradually. The goal should be to give the guinea pig a calm ride in the car. Abrupt movements and aggressive driving will move your guinea pig around in its cage involuntarily. This will most likely agitate the pig. If you are taking a long drive, for instance, if you are moving cross country, you need to check in on your pet regularly. Make sure it is doing ok and that its food and water are still secure. For example, take a five-minute break about halfway through your journey if you are traveling for over thirty minutes. Take this time to check their food and hay supply, as they need an unlimited supply of these. If you are on a long drive and your guinea pig's food or water spills all over its cage, clean it up. You don't want your pet sitting in a dirty cage for hours while you drive. Guinea pigs may naturally hide and be fearful during a car ride, so this is not necessarily a sign of true distress. However, there are some signs that the guinea pig is in real distress and needs attention. These can include repeated loud squeals, pacing, cowering in fear, and staying crouched over. If you have had your guinea pig for a while, you should know if it is acting normally. However, remember that a guinea pig being transported is likely to exhibit some unusual behavior. Talk to the guinea pig during the ride. It may be comforting to the pig to know that you're there with it. Never leave your guinea pig in the car alone! It can get overheated very quickly in a closed up car.
A:
Place the guinea pig in the carrier. Put the guinea pig cage in a secure location in the car. Drive your car responsibly. Check on the guinea pig regularly. Look for signs of distress.
