    Sexing Need help determining sex of these babies!

    Thanks! I've looked at those, too. I thought this guide was the best for young guinea pigs, but mine still don't look exactly like the pictures and it's leaving me uncertain! It's kind of important to not stick boys back in with mom and sisters! https://www.cavyspirit.com/sexing.htm

    Sexing Need help determining sex of these babies!

    Thanks. I've seen that first video before but the quality isn't good enough for me to make anything of! The other piggies are a lot more mature than mine and that's what is confusing me. I've looked at tons of pictures, but these guys aren't quite a month old.

    Sexing Need help determining sex of these babies!

    The female piggy we adopted was pregnant when we got her. She had three beautiful little babies, but it's time to separate them because we don't want any more unplanned piggies! And now I'm not so sure on their sex. The one I was sure was a girl from early on seems to be developing more male...

    Pregnancy Guinea Pig pregnancy and diet question

    Yeah, I was reading about that after we started to suspect there might be more going on than just a little weight gain. I guess in a couple weeks we'll have a better idea, but by the time I know for sure, it will be too late to give her all the nutritional support she needs!

    Pregnancy Guinea Pig pregnancy and diet question

    Thanks! I did talk to her. She said it wasn't completely out of the question because her daughter had put them in the play pen together and accidentally had put a boy in with them. She offered to take her back if we didn't want to deal with it or help with placing the babies, but I think we're...

    Pregnancy Guinea Pig pregnancy and diet question

    And I suppose I should note that we've had her since July 10, so about a month. When I talked to the former owner, she said that pregnancy wouldn't be out of the question because her daughter had put her in a play pen area with several piggies and accidentally had put a male in with them. I...

    Pregnancy Guinea Pig pregnancy and diet question

    OK, finally some pictures. Here's a top view: A sideview A view of her little tummy And a little teat. I don't remember them being that pronounced when we got her a month ago, but then I wasn't looking for it, either. I know she had a litter before and I honestly don't know what is...

    Pregnancy Guinea Pig pregnancy and diet question

    Should have mentioned that this one is a year so really should be full grown. I'll try to get a good picture of her tomorrow. She's had a litter before. She belonged to a lady who decided to focus on hairless guinea pigs. I was just happy to be getting a piggie from someone who asked so many...

    Pregnancy Guinea Pig pregnancy and diet question

    Thanks for the suggestion. We don't have AC so it is actually often cooler outside, though on hot days, I move them down to the basement. All day would be a bit excessive. We just have a nice pen that the children loved climbing in to play with the rabbit and that was sort of the plan with the...

    Pregnancy Guinea Pig pregnancy and diet question

    Thank you and that is a huge relief and a huge help! I watched a ton of piggie videos with the kids while we were waiting for the baby to be ready to come home, but nothing on pregnancy because that wasn't in the plans. Then I started suspecting that might be the case here, and when I looked...

    Pregnancy Guinea Pig pregnancy and diet question

    We recently adopted a sweet little guinea pig as a friend for my daughter's two month old female piggie. Now we're pretty sure the adopted one is pregnant. She's getting increasingly fussy about being picked up though once you pick her up, she'll happily snuggle in your lap as long as you're...
