New guinea pig is close, but how close?

[AliciaMcginger]

I recently bought two Guinea Pigs, one from a local pet store and the other from Petco. Socket, the piggy I got at the local place is very pregnant. Last I checked her pelvic bone is separated by about 2 cm. I'm trying to figure out how much longer she has. The little nuggets have been wriggling around inside of her for at least a week now. Also, any tips on rehoming these little guys once they've been weened? I've been asking around but have yet to find anyone who would take them. I just want to make sure that the go to a good home and don't wind up snake food.

Also, her cage mate is starting to get a little chubby in the middle as well. I got her at the end of December. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. I really hope she isn't tho... I could really use some rest.

do you have a loacl small animals foster? I would choose that over anything else. We have a bunch around us and the foster fees are $70 so no one would be buying them just for food

There is a very nice Humane Society in town that takes small animals. I may take them there.

If I lived near you I would take them!

Yeah, most of the people I ask say that they're too noisy, but mine only wheek when they hear a plastic bag or when someone's coming up the stairs. Even then it's usually just a little mumble.

Once they are born you could try to post them on guinea pig zone ( Guinea Pig Cages, Care, Shelters, Veterinarians - Guinea Pig Zone ) you may have better luck on finding them a home that way.

Some humane societies euthanize animals. I think you'd be better off finding a rescue that will take them or rehome them yourself.
