Shit... 99% sure Guinea Pig is pregnant

Bit of a disaster... I lost one of my two lovely girls at the start of December. We were devastated, they were like two peas in a pod. I had a post on here at the time.

After just over a week I figured I needed to get another Guinea pig to keep my remaining one happy. Bought from a pet store as we don't have any rescues.... and I'm 99% sure the baby is pregnant 😡

Can't get her in to see the Vet until Tuesday morning.

She's had no vet care during pregnancy, haven't been feeding her any supplements. She was 8 weeks when she came to us, so young to be having babies. We've had her 55 days.

What the hell do I do now?

@Minfilia Oh.My.Goodness! What sweet little creatures! That face 🥰 They sound like they're a lot of responsibility to take care of, I'm sure they're worth it though!

I'm off to Google micro squirrels! 🐿️

I just want to say thankyou because I've had quite a stressful day and reading this thread has cheered me up so much. You are a wonderful guinea pig mum @InAPickle12345 , and so are many of the PPs ❤ genuinely heart warming. Beautiful baby piggies!

Ah, I'm so glad this has cheered you up. There's been a couple of PPs who've said this has made a stressful day easier and I'm so glad, it's honestly really heartwarming knowing this thread has brought a smile to so many people's faces ❤️ How could you not smile seeing everyone's cute little piggos!

Tomorrow is another day, and I hope it's a much less stressful one for you x

Another one offering congratulations 🎉! I just love guinea pigs and currently have two chonky brothers who look completely different to each other.

Blondie looks like a boy to me, girls have Y Shaped bits.

MaggieFS · 18/02/2024 21:06

It's so weird how cheering it is. I could have just googled pics of baby pigs (I didn't know anything about them) but waiting for and then seeing these has indeed been joyful.

I wouldn’t bother with a vet visit. We bought a Guinea pig from a neighbour when I was little and we didn’t know she was pregnant until she had the babies.
