Hello there! New here! I've got 3 piggies 4 days ago. That's a valentine gift from my boyfriend. I already made a C&C Cage for them, and we're planning to put another floor as soon as we've got enough cubes. :eek: really love my piggies! The reason I joined here is that I want to get more information on how to perfectly care for them, and sharing my journey with my piggies as well. :D Thanks a lot! Good luck and God Bless cavy slaves!

Welcome to the forum! You have some lovely little babies! What are their names?

Ohh also, if you have any questions or need any help feel free to ask away. I will try my hardest to help, and if I can't answer it I am sure others here that are more knowledgeable than I am will gladly help as well!

Oh so cute!!! We have 2 right now, but will be getting a third one soon (surprised my fiance agreed to let me get another one). Are yours boys or girls? And I agree, we need names to go with those cute faces ^_^

They are all girls! I got an idea of their names from the internet. Maybe now they recognized their names because they get to 'wheek wheek' as I am calling them :cheerful: They are so lovely!

Very cute!

I know you said they're all females, but pigs get missexed ALL the time. Please at least turn them over and compare the pertinent parts. If they're different, separate by gender before you wind up posting that you're having baby guinea pigs because one of your pigs was male instead of female. Thanks!

Thank you for this. After reading this, I immediately ran inside their room and checked them. They all have the same figure of the genitalia. As I was holding them, I saw and felt the tummy of my Crumpet a bit bigger than the other two, though my Puff has a big tummy also. Suspicious? I don't think they would get pregnant as early as one month? And oh, another issue I want to raise is when I was checking their genitalia, I touched Tippie's tummy and I felt something. I Looked at it and I saw something in the middle of her tummy, it's like the size of her nipple with a dot. Same with my Crumpet, but what I saw in her was just like a dot and it is not swollen. Is there something I should worry about with this matter? I love my piggies ever since I've had them, and I do not want any of them to get sick . :weepy:

Please be 110% sure that they are all females...breeders and pet shops are notorious for mix-sexing, but if he adopted them from a shelter or rescue then i'd be alot less worried. They can get pregnant from as early as 4 weeks (Males can mate their mothers at 3 weeks, but baby girls can't get pregnant till 4 weeks)

From what I know, it's a belly button...and Tippie's I don't think should be swollen. If I was you, I'd take all three down to your nearest Exotic cavy savy vet to have them sexed and then have a health cheeck...as once again breeders and pet shops are notorious for selling sick (or all ready pregnant) guinea pigs.

Thank you for that. Now I'm worried that my two piggies are pregnant! I'll be posting pictures of them to make you see what is on their tummy. I'll send them to the nearest vet to make sure they are really ok. Other than that, I couldn't see any possible signs of illness. In fact, they're always running and popcorning! And whenever I go inside their room from school, they always make a 'wheek wheek' sound which makes me so much convinced to love them more! I think they are happy with their home since they came from a small 'bird cage' with lots of other piggies inside! If that is the case, then maybe my piggies could possibly be pregnant! :eek:hmy:
