pregnant pig / scared owner

[sharii24]

this is my first post so i hope i am doing this right. I have a little girl who has been expecting for 2 mo or longer. i have looked up info so i know what is going to happen but the only thing that i cant find is if anything is going to happen to tell us that we only have a few days/hours before our baby has her babies. thank you

Labor. Your guinea pig will give a distinctive groan when she is going into labor - even if you've never heard it before, when you hear it you'll know exactly what it means. Wait by her cage while she gives birth in case you need to intervene, but don't intervene unnecessarily. Labour is often short - when you hear the groan, the first baby may have already arrived.

That may help you. You should definetely read this atricle: How To Help A Pregnant GP. It sounds like it would really help you. Good luck!

Thank you ... what time of day do the go in to labour most of the time ?

Im sure there is not a specific time, just like with humans, you never know... But you mey count on times that she is normally most active, morning and night, but that is just a guess.

I brought 2 piggiess( both girls) ans after 2 months of having them they both had a baby each . when they were giving birth we didnt interfear once apart from a few hourse later wen i cleaned thebed section out ans i held the baby and the mother didnt disown the baby at all. so all i have to say is keep th hutch clean make sure the mom has plenty of hay & fresh food and let her get on with it hope your baby piggies tun out well x

I have read on a couple of different sites where a lot of times the mama piggy gives birth when the owners are asleep or not home. I would be sure and look around the cage well every time you are away from her just in case.
