Guinea pigs are actually VERY fragile. They will break a leg if you accidentally drop them from more than 5-6 in. for little young piggies or babies, while adults at 7-9 inches. So from a scale from 1-10, maybe about a 7 or an 8.

Why is there a white milky looking liquid on the bottom of the Guinea pig box while she is going into labor and some babies have been born?

The white milky liquid is likely the amniotic fluid mixed with mucus that is released during labor. It helps lubricate the birth canal and aids in the delivery of the babies. This is a normal part of the birthing process for Guinea pigs.
