Hi I’m new to this website. I’ve been reading different threads here for about 2 weeks but I just joined today. A little bit about my guinea pig situation, My daughter fell in love with a boar at her school. The teacher was allergic and I inherited the boar about a year and a half ago. I’m a teacher as well so I kept him in my class. About 6 months later a parent dropped off a “female” guinea pig we named Dulce Leche and asked me if I could please take it in. After having them for about 8 months together, the boar passed away (he was old). My daughter was devastated. Her teacher gave her 2 New female Guinea pigs in March that were donated to the school. I didn’t put them together right away because I had read posts about how to get them used to each other. I would let them play while I cleaned the cages but I was scared to put them together unless I was watching. They had cages right next to each other where they could interact but were not together. Around the end of April I brought them home because of testing and to get ready for Summer vacation from school. Around May/June I finally put them in connecting cages. They seemed to get a long. Dulce kept trying to mount them in the beginning but stopped. They seemed to get a long. I read that girls try to do that sometimes for dominance and it stopped.
For about 2 weeks now one of them started looking a lot like a pear and if I watch them for awhile I think I see kicking. I’ve gently touched her sides as I read on a few forum threads here and I’m pretty convinced she’s pregnant. So I separated the other 2 from Cinnamon. Now I think the other one might be pregnant too! So last night I separated all 3! I tried sexing them in the beginning when I saw the mounting but I’m not really good at it! They all seemed very similar!
I never saw them actually mate so i have NO IDEA how far along they are or if they even are. I started treating them as though they are and following tips I read here. Do you guys think they are? They seemed very happy together and I would hate to have them isolated if they are not. I am attaching 3 pictures. Cinnamon is the one j think is pretty pregnant, it's the picture that you see the whole body and she's white and blonde. Toasty is the Grey one and I think she might be pregnant because of behavior and I think I feel kicking. But she doesn't look it. And the other picture is Dulce whose genitals look different today. Is it safe to say Dulce is a boar?
