Is my guinnea pig pregnant?!!?! Help

She had the babies thanks guys

Please keep her separated from the boar...she can become pregnant again, right after giving birth...also, it can be hazardous for an 'older' female - over 8 months old, to have her first litter of bubs, as the pelvic bones fuse together after this age...making natural birth extremely difficult...also, it is important to separate the sexes of the bubs, as soon as 4 weeks of age, as female guinea pigs become sexually mature at this age...hope all goes well and you post pics of the bubs.

She had the babies thanks

I really don't know anything about guinea pigs, but I'll try to get the basic questions and conversation started while we wait for someone more experienced to come along and help. Why do you think she's pregnant? Is it just her weight, or has she been acting differently? That's really all I can think of, hopefully someone else more experienced will come along soon.

She had them thanks

Very cool!! Congrats. Heads up, the babies will need to stay with mom for 3-4 weeks and then weened immediately. You'll be able to tell the boys from the girls by looking at their "areas" - each genital spot looks like a "Y", and the male will simply have a dot between the "V". When you separate, and if you're choosing to keep the youngsters, the prime difference in their diet (different from the mom's diet, I mean) is to feed alfalfa hay instead of timothy hay due to the high calcium content in the alfalfa hay. Your adult pig shouldn't be fed alfalfa hay, though, as it can cause kidney stones due to that high calcium content. Good luck and have fun!
