Hello!
New gp owner here. Confession time - I lost my 17 year own min pin 2 month ago and then not even a month later our 6 month out pup. I saw an ad looking to rehome 2 guinea pigs and here we are today, completely impulsive, I know.
While I originally thought they were females, it has become evident that the younger one is a male. They have been living together happily but when I got a new cage with more space I see that they have separated and prefer to have there own space.
I've begun doing research and am realizing how not ideal this situation is.
I have gotten a second habitat to separate them (although they really do enjoy each other)
The female looks like she could possibly be pregnant although when I got them their diet did not include fresh veggies which I have now give to them twice daily.
Her belly feels very firm and plump lately though, more so then 1 month ago.
I live very rural. No exotic vet within 3 hours. If she is pregnant, will she die without a c section? How much time do I have to gather the funds and make a plan?
I love these little things and want to do right by them. Any suggestions to make the best out of this situation would be appreciated.
