How can I know for sure if my guinea pig is pregnant. She has gotten bigger the last month or so and we want to know is we are going to have babies?

 

Optional Information:
Age: <1; Female; Breed: Guinea pig

Already Tried:
Looking at her nipples to see if she is getting milk in. Feeling her to see if we can feel anything. She is getting bigger, but we do not know if she is pregnant or not. If she is we need to some rearranging.

Dear friend,

Congratulations!!! It certainly sounds like your sow is expecting!!! She has all the signs and symptoms. You can leave the daddy in with her because males are very nurturing and help raise the babies (all men should be like that LOL)

Here are some links you can print:

These will help you care for the mommy during her pregnancy and tell you how to feed her as well.

Please let me know what she gives birth and how many new babies she has,

Warmest best wishes,

Terri
