Hi i'm new here but i just don't know what to do about this and am really worried. Back in May i was at my local pet store for supplies and i had a look in the piggy cage [as i always do]. There was only one piggy sitting there all alone and i know that this is a no no with all piggy lovers but i just couldn't make myself go out the door without her. I already had two pigs, a neutered male and a female so i thought they would all get along.
I quarantined the new one [ Georgina ] for a few weeks and during that time i started to notice her gaining weight around the tum. I read everything that i could find about guinea pregnancy online and she had all the signs of being pregnant. Well i panicked as i had been told that she was eight weeks old when i got her and thinking that i might lose her as she was too young, i rushed down to the vets. I am pleased to say that with the vets good advice, and lots of tlc, Georgina gave birth to two healthy boys. I spent all her pregnancy reading all i could find on the subject and one of things that most forums etc mentioned was to remove the boys from their mum between three or four weeks of age. Before they reached that age [from 10 days old] they were runbling around their mum but they were still suckling . I finally removed them at 20 days as they were actually trying to mount their mum. Mum is now showing signs of being pregnant again, changing shape, drinking, not wanting tummy touched etc. It is 5 wks since the bubs were taken from her. Is it really possible that she is pregnant? Help.... Will she be able to cope if she is?
