lolHi, I am new to these forums. I just found out last week that my new Guinea pig, Wilma, is pregnant.... I just want to know what the best bedding is for her to give birth... Right now I have always used shavings bedding. Should I put fleece in her cage (yes, she is in her own cage since we found out she is expecting. Any advice would be helpful? Also I read she needs additional calcium. How do I give her that? Thanks....

She won't care what the bedding is. Guinea pigs don't nest the way hamsters do.

If she was previously with sows, she doesn't need to be separated. Sows make great aunties, and will help raise the pups.

You feed her like she's a young pup -- alfalfa pellets will do the trick for the calcium. Also supplement her with some vitamin C.
