Once your guinea pig has got pregnant, it should take an average of 10 weeks until the pups arrive.
The signs are:
Week 1: There are no signs.
Week 2: Your sow (female) may start drinking lots more than usual.
Week 3: Your guinea pig will be putting on more weight and the abdomen muscles will tighten.
Week 4: An experienced breeder will be able to feel small fetuses.
Week 5: Sow usually looks pregnant, sort of rounded at the stomach. You will be able to feel the outlines of the fetuses.
Week 7: You will be able to feel the babies kick when you rest your hand on her tummy.
Week 9: Your sow will start to find it difficult to move around, but should be able to still eat and drink. The pelvic bones will separate sometime during this week.
Week 10: The baby guinea pigs should be born!
It is a common mistake to make - but DO NOT put the vitamin drops in the water. Don't try and feed her the fruit, leave it in her bowl and she should decide to eat it when shes hungry.
