I adopted this cutie from a shelter 4 weeks ago as a companion for my two older girls (they just turned two and I've had them since they were about five weeks old). Over the past week I've noticed her body shape becoming more like a large fruit than a guinea pig. So does this look like normal weight gain or possible pregnancy? I'm more than happy with it being weight gain because I've only ever heard bad things about guinea pig pregnancies and she is under six months old. Her two littermates were supposedly both females. The shelter worker said that their original family unknowingly bought a pregnant pig from a pet store. The worker also admitted that she didn't know much about guinea pigs so I'm not sure if she mis-sexed them/didn't sex them at all.
This is the best picture I could get. It seems like she's just blown up this week but then again it could be just my imagination.
