My Guinea pig is due to have her babies very soon - She is so fat! I wondered how many your mummy pig had and if they were/are ok.

Pat

She hasn't Pat.!!!!!

She's definately pregnant but I think she has another week or so to go yet...shes not fit to burst like I remember my Guineas being when they were about to give birth when I was a child...I don't think she was properly *receptive* when she met her fella lol.

I have girls friends phoning daily desperate to know if they've arrived......but we're still waiting :0(

Hope yours arrive soon !!!!

mine hasnt :(

she defo got "done" but couldnt have caught :(:(:(:(

gud luck ladies xxx

Ahh, Two of mine are pregnant. One is so big and a bit lop sided. I think she will have an odd number so 3 or maybe 5 if we are lucky. She was quite a large (not old) pig when she got pregnant so probably has lots of room for them!

My other pregnant one is quite a bit 'smaller' but you can feel the babies moving around now. I think se has maybe 3 weeks left.
When she was pregnant last time we didn't even know she was pregnant untill the day the babies were born! So I don't expect her to get huge.

I think my girl will only have one or two Pat......she's about a year old and this is her first litter.

My human friend is overdue her baby......I reckon they're going to give birth on the same day lol x

Good luck with all these expected babies, ... They are so cute.

Our Guinea pig is still alive.... 8 last August.
Spends alot more time sleeping now,with nose tucked under the hay, but perks up if she hears us opening the door.
There might be a tasty snack arriving!

Muffy -
Keep an eye on her. Do you kow it is quite dangerous for Guinea Pigs to have babies after about 9-12 monts old. Their pelvis can fuse and they find giving birth extremley difficult. Hope everything goes well for her.

Gwyn,
8! You must be doing something right!

Im a little concerned - I can hear lots of squeaking coming from th cages outside, Hopeully tonight is the night!

This is Sarkle - Due any day now...

If there's no movement in the next few days Pat I'll nip her down the vets I think....but she really doesn't seem ready size wise tbh x

Can you feel babies in there?
I couldn't at first but could see them - She was definatley bigger. Then I could feel slight movements and now they are huge kicks!
I think once you can feel the babies moving they have about 4 weeks left to go.

Sorry double posted

I can feel the bulges but not the movement if that makes sense? (and the bulges ARE growing ) xx

Ahh, I wouldn't worry too much then - Just keep an eye to her.
We have not had babies today even though I was half expecting them - I don'tknow how much longer she can carry on for! lol

ANything yet Muffy?

Im still waiting for mine. Mum is huge!!!

We've come to the conclusion it must've been either a phantom Pat OR she's had them and eaten them (yuk...but I've heard of it before). She looks totally normal size wise now so we've taken her out of her nesting hutch and put her back in the run.....

Hoping yours appear soon !!! x

Ahh thats a shame. I thought it was more rabbit that ate the babies, Not Guinea Pigs. i would bet that if anything she's re-absorbed them. :-(

Sparkle still hasn't had her babies, I think she must be having more than the normal 2-3. She is so big now. Have a look. This photo was taken 2 days ago!

Yes, I don't know how they are still in there! Im guessing at 4-5 babies. Poor thing, It's her 1st time too.

My mummy pig is STILL pregnant!!!

funny u should say that because mine i thought was, then thought she cant be as she had gone over 8 weeks, but! she is looking very very fat these days but i darent take her out to have feel,

incase she is and i hurt them so i duno if she is or jst fat! lolol

im hoping she is but then im worried because she is still in with bob, and i dnt wana seperate them if i dnt have to
