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.

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.
