  • Pregnant guinea pig question?

    I have a guinea pig who is very pregnant. The last three days I've been watching her, I fill her water at 7 am and again at 5pm as by then it is empty, in this time she is drinking roughly 500ml give or take. I see her babies moving furiously inside her. They kick a lot and very fast,

    I am wondering how long now until she gives birth

    Two days ago she was having hiccups or that's what I thought, today her whole body was moving in ripples, that was like three hours ago. Now she has just has her nightly grass and I had to refill her water, her babies are really moving in there, like fully kicking around hard.

    How long til she gives birth, she won't let me touch her to check her pelvis

  • Guinea pig question?? Please help?

    My guinea pig is pregnant and really fat, I've seen pigs who've had two or three pigs and they looked pear shaped, my pig is way fatter than pear shaped her sides are huge like if u sat two babies next to her she's that big.

    So cos she is so fat no one is allowed to pick her up for the last month, I believe she is due Thursday August 8. As I said no one can handle her, today I gently felt her side while she was resting and felt the babies give a kick, it was magical, when she was exiting her hutch part of her house and going onto her grass section I could see a line coming up from her bum/ vaginal region and the fur had kind of parted so I could see a line going about 2cm up.

    I want to know signs she is about to give birth, like how do I know she is close. Can someone tell me the signs before labor and birth so I know how close she is?

    I have a pregnant sow in her cage beside her she either only has two pigs or has longer to go as she looks like a slight pear shape. Is she ok being in a separate cage divide next to the expecting sow

  • Please help my guinea pig?

    So there is something seriously wrong with my guinea pig. I don't know her age but I know I bought her from a pet shop on may 11 and she came with two babies a week old. The babies are well one boy one girl, both have been separated from mum as my cousin now owns the girl and my best friends sons owns the boy. The mum whose age is unknown is not well. I noticed a month or so ago she was bleeding, I phoned the vet and he couldn't come out for three days, by the time he arrived it had stopped. He said not to worry. Now today I picked her up and thought I'd do a check under her as I do each week, she isn't one who wants to be held often, so when I looked under her, her vagina or anus or both is full of oozing infected looking puss and its green, it's huge, my other 7 pigs are all clean in that area so that was a shock, then I could see this huge looking lump to the left, it looks very painful, between her left bottom nipple and her vagina/bum. I touched it and its really hard. She also felt a bit skinny. She is a tri coloured abbysinnian with red eyes. Does Anyone know what on earth is wrong with her? I haven't seen much poo in her cage either.

    We live in a rural area, I phoned our vet he comes out to us but his number is disconnected. I also called the pet produce store they gave me the same vets number, he is two hours away and the closest to us, the next vets are 5 hours away so we can't go to a vet, please someone help us what is wrong with her and how can I fix it

  • Guinea pig behaviour?

    So I have now re arranged everyone and my cages are as follows cage 1 slot a and slot b and cage 2 slot c slot d and slot e. The pigs go as follows slot a has spring and checkers, slot b has boss. Slot c has big mumma slot d has buttercup and blacky slot e has ruby and queenie. I bought queenie off a breeder who said she could be 2 - 4 weeks pregnant when I bought her April 26. I want to know why she is digging and laying in one spot. Ruby is only 8 weeks old where as queenie is two years. I haven't felt any babies move but queenie squeeks if I pick her up under her tummy and stays still. She just chased ruby but there's no biting why is that. Their all girls in slot c d and e.

    In slot a I notice checkers 4 weeks is squeeking a lot as if he wants something and keeps going to the divide talking to boss. Boss is can and bit spring that why spring and checkers are in slot a and boss in slot b.

    Why are they doing all this please help. Slot a and b are all boys

  • Guinea pig fight? please help.?

    So I went and bought two boys. I have a large cage with three dividers and a large cage with two dividers. So in the three dividers cage I have four pigs. Slot 1 has ruby (girl) 5 weeks old and checkers (boy) 4 weeks old. Slot 2 has butter cup (girl) and slot 3 has loco (girl). So I put boss into slot two and spring into slot three. (their not really in slots their big cages with dividers) so I watched for three hours and everyone is happy. Boss was attempting to mate buttercup and at first shed run then she just sat there for him and let him do his thing. Spring is only around 6months old where as boss is easily 1year. Boss is huge, very long too compared to loco who is two years. So spring was hopping over loco wouldn't stay still but they were all happy. So boss started digging where I put their food down as if wanting to get into spring and locos cage. Assuming he was hungry I supplies more food and water. It then got dark outside so I had to go back inside and cook dinner. When I came out at 6am the next day, I noticed that boss had squeezed thru the divider into the cage with spring and loco. I saw spring was at the end of the cage (which is 1.5metre long) just sitting huddled and looking scared. I opened the cage to find boss in with loco in their house part of cage. Poor spring had been evicted from the hut and I picked him up. Cause he is white I could see blood near his hip, moved the fur and saw he'd had a chunk taken out of his side. Is this because boss wants all the females for himself? Why did boss switch slots when he already had buttercup with him. The boys were previously cage mates so I can't understand the attack. So I had to re arrange every one after the fight. So now in the two slot cage is spring and Bridget in slot one, ruby and checkers in slot 2. In the bigger 3 slot cage is big mumma and her baby girl spoilt, slot two has boss and buttercup and slot three loco. I have now fixed it so boss can only be with buttercup. Why did this all hapen

  • Guinea pig question? please help?

    So I built this awesome cage for my girls, and I set a divider down the middle. The divide has chicken wire so that two can talk to the other two thru the chicken wire. So they've been together a while, lace and springy have been together over 18 months. This morning at 6am I noticed that lace wouldn't let springy into the hutch part of Babtheir cage. Lace just sat in the door way and would not move for three hours. I've noticed mild teeth catering but no biting or anything. Springy and ruby have been close in the cage where the divide is their always talking and sniffing noses. Tonight we put

    springy with dame Edna and ruby and they were all three Following dame around the cage quite happy. We put pinch and her two week old babies in with lace and lace lost it. Her teeth chatered so loud I've never heard nothing like it. Then she tried to bite pinch and pinch squealed and bit her back. We have put lace in a cage of her own and pinch and her two week old babies in the divided cage next to lace springy and ruby. Their all very happy. I'm just concerned for lace Will she be ok alone or does she need a younger cage mate?
