How exciting. I recently discovered my new pet guinea pig was pregnant. She was pregnant when we got her. Her one and only babe was born last Sunday and it is the sweetest thing I have ever seen. I had a quick look today and I think it's a boy, so I wont be able to keep him if I am right.
Unless I get a new hutch, which I am thinking strongly about doing as I don't think I can part with him.
Will be stalking your posts for your news.

Yes, the whole thing has really dragged on, hasn't it!!! I'm actually glad I realized she was pregnant early because it has given me the time I needed to get everything prepared! If they had arrived right after I started suspecting, things would not have been nearly as organized.

Tonight I did what I *think* will be the last cage change before the babies come. I went back and forth between doing it and waiting as not to disturb her, but then thought "What if it ends up being another week?" (PLEASE don't let it be another week.) So I went ahead with the change. She runs right into the dog carrier when I offer it to her, so I don't think it was too stressful for her to wait in there for 10 minutes while I got things tidied up for her. I think as long as she has a fresh supply of hay, she is happy!

I seem to be able to see the babies kicking almost every time I watch for it now. I usually can see some movement within a minute! I don't know if I can wait any longer...but since we're so close to the weekend now I kind of just hope she holds out until Saturday!

Thanks everyone!!!

I hope to post pictures tonight when I get home from work. My husband has the day off and I am SO JEALOUS that he gets to stay home with the baby piggy today!!! This morning I found the mom and baby snuggling together, and it was just adorable. Baby has fur that looks almost a little kinked- teddy-ish kind of like the parents.

We will definitely be keeping the little gal/guy. If it is a girl, I'm thinking of getting Pugsley neutered so he can live with them rather than just be side by side. If it is a male, then...I don't know, an adoption may be in our future.
