HELP!!

[cavielover]

I intercepted a pregnant female guinea pig from my mother in law...actually I ended taking on ownership of her... I know she is about 8 weeks along........what should I be watching for as far as signs of labor and delivery

I have a pregnant sow as well. I read a lot of information on the websites, guinea lynx and cavy spirit. There is also a section here on baby proofing the cage.

Thank you Cher3...I will look up those websites

your welcome I would also make sure you have a vet lined up who is experienced in cavies, just incase there are any complications. I read that when they go into labour that they make a hiccuping motion and that some sows let out a screech just before the baby comes out. I'd also read about proper nutrition for your new piggy, if you haven't already. I hope everything goes well with her delivery. Let us know how everything goes and post pics

Have you been able to feel the babies move yet? I hear, when she's ready to deliver you can hear the babies grind their teeth.
