Pregnancy Pregnant Guinea Pig Help

[PeanutnCookie]

They were literally just born. Give them a day or two to get used to walking and stuff. They are adorably by the way!

The babies lost weight.
Baby 1: -14g
Baby 2: -9g
Baby 3: -10g
Baby 4: -11g

when do I need to start being concerned?

They normally lose weight the first two or three days. After that they should start consistently gaining. I wouldn't worry as long as they're all active and eating. They're beautiful, by the way.

@NDarling23 I'm very curious if there were any signs that your momma pig showed before labor?
I've got a female I adopted who is pregnant and due literally any day but I'm going to pull out my hair from the wait!!
I keep watching for signs and thinking that she's about to pop but then nothing -_- grr... lol
Anyways, I'm really hoping that since you were pretty observant with your sow that you may have noticed a change in her behavior or how she was moving and what not?
I know of what to look for when she's actually in labor, but no one seems to know of what to look for leading up to it... ×_×

To be honest she acted completely normal. I keep thinking I saw signs and it always turned out to be nothing. Then when I finally gave up on trying to predict it she had the babies! I don't know if the video is on this thread but she did do the hiccuping motion I think the day before she went into labor. That was the only thing that changed!! I'm sorry I know this isn't all that helpful. I hope your girl has a safe delivery and healthy babies!

It's all good, it seems like no one knows of any prelabor signs.. guinea pigs must be darn good at hiding them
