okay so i have what i was told to be five females all housed together in a 4x5 C&C cage but today i found out that one is actually a male.....

what do I do? what?s the chances of my four females being pregnant? how do i prepare for births?

they?ve all been together for about a week or 2.

I will let for others to chime in on your other questions, but you should separate the male immediately from the females. I would double check the sex of all the others as well.

Yep, turn 'em all over and compare their private parts and separate into piles (and a different pen) accordingly.

The females may or may not be pregnant. They come into heat every 14-16 days, and a herd of sows will usually all come into heat around the same time if they've been together for a while.

If they are, it will be weeks before you'll know. See https://www.guineapigcages.com/foru...inea-pig-is-pregnant-And-how-far-along-is-she.
