they´ll be about 3-4 weeks pregnant

any news heather how far along could they be ?

well youll soon find out lol

thats not to bad rather have 2 0r 3 each rather then 8 each. hope the boss knows wat she is doing!

oh when i found out mine was up the duff i had to look it all up ie been here mines had 2 litters ,,,
so if i can help i can ,,,,,im not a breeder its just info i have picked up over the year since shes had them

eeek 2 peggers sows not good ,,,, you could have alot of babys on your hands ,,, hopefully if its the guineas first litter wthey will only have one or 2 the first litter tends to be small but they can have up to 8
mine had 2 in the first littwe and 3 in the second

ur full of info noo. the boy lives at the other nursery and so the boss bought it in and put with the female, other member of staff not realising put both girls in with the boy cos she thought they were all boys so in actual fact we could have 2 pregnant guinees

right 2-3 weeks in her hips will be big
Here are the signs of pregnancy weekly. Take a look and see any similarities.

Week 1 No signs
Week 2 Sow may start drinking more

Week 3 Sow will start gaining weight, there will be a tightening of the abdomen muscles.

Week 4 An experienced breeder will be able to feel small foetuses

Week 5 Sow usually looks noticeably pregnant, taking on a rather rounded appearance. You will be able to feel the outlines of the foetuses.

Week 7 You will be able to feel ´quickening´ this is when the babies kick

Week 9 It may become difficult for the sow to move around but she should still be active and eat and drink as normal.
The pelvic bones will separate sometime during this week

Week 10 The babies will be born

Make sure the female is given lots of lettuce, carrots and so forth. She will be eating much more now.

hope this helps you the dad can stay with mum but has to be removed quickly as she can get preggers again just hours after giveing birth

thanks noo, at work we have guinee pigs 2 of them and tthe boss has decided it would be nice to put the boy in with the girl and now i think she is pregnant. bad idea i think

63-74 days approx 2 and a half months. depending on the size of the litter she is having. the longer the gestation, the less pups she will have
a guinea pig can have up to 8 babies in one litter.

whats getstation period and how many can they have in one litter?
