Is my guinea pig pregnant?, experienced owners please?

Question

my guinea pig probobly mated about 6 weeks ago, about 3 weeks ago she gained alot of weight ever since then she doesnt look like shes gained any, i try to feel her belly and all i feel is her breathing and sometimes she squeaks when i touch her belly, it also feels hard and my other guinea pig thats a little chunky her belly is just soft, she is eating alot but she always ate like a little pig, and lately shes been hiding and just relaxing and not as active, whats going on? please help im very concerned and worried, thanx

Answer 1

It sounds to me shes pregnant.

When a guinea pig is pregnant they usally like to be hidden and feel well protected and covered.

When you pick her up be very carefull and hold her close to you so she feels comfortable.

If you dont know what to do when she starts giving birth I suggest you call a vet and ask. They will explain everything to you in great detail.

Just make sure her surroundings are very clean and comfortable pluse make sure shes warm.

not onley that but try to separate her from any of your other guinea pigs (especially the one she bred with) its not a good idea to have him around her when shes about too go into labor because it can seriously stress her out!

GOOD LUCK AND I HOPE THIS HELPED!!!
