Pregnant guinea pig signs

Answer 1

At the minute my guinea pig is going rounder and is near enough all the time eating and drinking unlike the other guinea pig. I think when i pick her up i can feel some hardish lumps in her stomache. i think she may be pregnant can someone tell me if im wrong and tell me the signs to show she is pregnant At first it is hard to tell. Within about 3 weeks you should feel a little swelling in the abdomen. She should be eating more, drinking more. You should be able to definitely tell by 6 weeks and possibly even feel movement. She will become more and more shaped like an eggplant is she is pregnant, wider in back and sides. If there is a possibility of pregnancy I would move her to a cage of her own as she can get reimpregnated within a couple of hours of delievery .Also is there is any chance of pregnancy make sure you provide fresh water, premium pellets daily along with veggies such as greens, broccoli, carrots, daily . Very small amounts of mild apples and Oranges once or twice a week. Also provide plenty of timothy and/or alphapha hay daily , as much as she can eat. During pregnancy I do a mixure of timothy, and alphapha as alphapha provide extra calcium but I do not ever feed alphapha unless it si to the babies, pregnant or lactating moms as it can cause problems.

Answer 2

She will feel more tense especially around her lower stomach where her babies will be at. She'll slowly get to be very heavy. You will see lumps, and towards the end of the pregnancy you can see the lumps moving. Other Tips: Guinea pig delivery requires very little assistance. Actually almost nothing, except to make sure the nose of the babies are not blocked and that they are breathing okay. The babies eyes open and they try to walk within seconds.

Answer 3

! Good question.

Pregnant Guinea pigs (females) get bigger when there pregnant. When I say bigger I don't mean they swell up, only the stomach area starts to get bigger and rounder.

The nipples might pop out a little bit, maybe get bigger. They will also get kinda touchy when you try to hold it.

I hope I helped.

Over 2-4 days before she is ready to give birth her pelvis will widen, she will also start to eat and drink more. She will also start to plump up and you can feel the babies kicking. The gestation period is anywhere between 63 and 72 days. An average litter is between 1 and 6 babies.
