    around a year ago I bought a guinea piggy from a pet store (piggies are rare where I live, I couldn't find one to adopt), and it was a male. from day one I would really be careful with his diet and made sure he would get all the needed nutrients, and his diet would mostly consist of fresh food. he was always chubby and lazy. so a nice morning after a couple of months of owning him, I opened the cage to clean it, and under the house, I saw a skinny piggy (my "male piggy") and a tiny little floof ball staring back at me. went straight to the vet, both were fine, and I was lucky enough to have a litter of only one piggy, also female. so now I have two cuties, but I had no idea she was pregnant at the time.

    I thought my piggy was pregnant. Turned out she was just overweight. I had to get her an outdoor playpen so she can run and get exercise but most of the time she lays on the grass while eating it.

    • @cavyherd7471
      @cavyherd7471 8 лет назад +62

      Put their cage right next to where you normally sit, and make it high enough that they can look *down* on you when they come to the side. This makes you "smaller" than they are, and therefore more interesting than scary.
      Once or twice a day, peek over the edge of their cage, make scritchy talky noises. If/when they come to investigate, be ready with some of their favorite food to give them.
      Try that for a while and see if it helps.

      Just be calm, gentle, and slow. Move verrrryyyy slowly. If you think you're moving slowly enough, move more slowly. To interact with them, as much as you can, get down to their level. Remember: they're prey animals. Anything that's not green or another guinea pig potentially wants to eat them.

    I just got my two guinea pigs a month or so ago. They are already pretty comfortable with me and they were both male. Or so I thought. Turns out one was a female and is now pregnant. She's only a little more than 3 month old and I have picked her up multiple times before I knew she was pregnant. Now I'm super scared that something might go wrong because I'm super attached to it already. And if it goes well which I hope I will keep all babies.

      I bred my guinea pig so that she would have someone to play with. I live in a completely rural area and a pet store is 3 hours away. If i did go to the pet store, i would have to pay $120 for two piggies. There are also no guinea pig rescues unless you drive maybe eight hours. I understand the risks of breeding and i also feel bad for all the piggies that need homes, but i think breeding guinea pigs is okay as long as you know what to do and the risks. 👌

    My guinea pigs were ment to be girls, my mom always suspected that one of them was a boy ( my mom thought fifi was a boy and misha was thought to be a girl which she was ) fifi was always showing that she wants to gave BEBE. I never understood why and we even went to the vet to check if fifi was a girl which they said "she" was. After a few months mishas stomach started getting pretty big. I just thought she was getting a little fat. Today, when I was cleaning their cage I found a tiny little slimy guinea pig baby and I was devistated... mishas stomach was back to normal. In the shop they said "fifi is a girl" the vets said "fifi is a girl" I am in so much pain and rage and suffering. I am so done. Misha is still alive which is good

    If you saw my other comment you what I'm talking about so let jump into the story:I went to a pet store to get a guinea pig for my birth day,we had most of the stuff we needed at home,but our cage was way to small.This pet store was different than the one in the last story it had glass cages on shelves and there were two guinea pigs in a cage,each seprated by gender.The guinea pig I saw was from a shelter but no one went to that shelter so they let the store have the for a day to put out in the store to sell,they were in guinea pig caged on tables so It was pretty easy to see them.I saw a guinea pig running around in It's cage and I went over,I saw it come up to me as i sat down by the cage.She was very social and loving and liked to explore.I loved her and pet her nose,she didn't teeth chatter or run away just sat there and let me pet her nose.She was only five dollars and i was set on getting her.Then my dad pointed out another guinea pig in the back just sitting there.She was this guinea pigs sister,I asked if I could get both as they were sisters and only ten dollars for both and my dad said yes.The one I like was a darker piggy we'll the other one was a lighter piggy i named em dawn and dusk.Ima make a part two this is getting too long ;w;

      keep feeling her belly daily like.. just softly put your hands around it and you will for sure feel movement when shes in the last 2 weeks. sometimes you can SOFTLY shake the belly, then theyll most likely move

    My guinea piggy was misgendered, when we got him a year ago. So when we (slowly of course) introduced the new piggy, everything seemed normal and they acted normal, they were together months, almost a year, before getting pregnant. Bean (who we now know is a boy) is one year, and the sow, Coconut, is 2 years old. I know its risky for her to be much older, I am kind of anxious. I am making sure everything is in tip top shape and have a vet on call in case things go south. I of course, did cry. Both joy and disappointment. I didn't want to be one to bring in more piggies when so many more need a home all over, but I am so happy for them. Just hope the labor goes well. I wish I knew when exactly she got pregnant, we only discovered this today, and having Bean for a year now, now we know he is a boy. To clarify, when the two piggies met, they acted like normal as if they were both females, and it was normal up until about a week or two ago. They were together months (again, almost a year, about 9 months or so) before this happened, and Coconut was not pregnant before, until now. As of right now, her belly is not super big, but we feel about one lump on each side of her, but very small, hard to feel yet, so I do not know how far along she is, hopefully someone can help me estimate that. If you read this, thank you. Just a little ramble, I hope someone could follow up with any insight, or recommendations, thank you! ^^
    ps: they have been separated since we found out. Really sweet though, they seem a little bummed to be away from one another.

    Right now I have a female guineapig and a male. She is not pregnant yet but I just wanted to be prepared. When the mother gives birth, does the father need to be separated and for how long? And can they be neutered or spayed after she gives birth?

      Shadøw Cat 2006 Usually it's recommended that the father is seperated for three to four weeks and that any male babies are seperated from both the mother and the girls at about 3 weeks and the girls too if you don't plan on keeping them. Good luck! :)

    I got two girl pigs from the shelter a couple of months ago. Today I got 2 more girls from the shelter. They told me they were housed with a male so they could be pregnant. I decided to take them anyway, and care for them and foster the babies. I may keep one girl, but the shelter told me to give them the babies and they will find them homes. Thank you for your info because I want to take really good care of them, and do what I need to do if there are babies. I am retired, so I have the time to care for them, and spoil them.

    I am very worried so I saw this ad selling two piggies a brother and sister Guinea pig they were 7 weeks old when I adopted them I put them in their own cages as soon as I got home but now after having them for 2 months I found out the female was pregnant she is very far along now as she’s really showing and I’ve never had a pregnant piggy before. I’m worried for one that the babies will be inbred and second I don’t want to lose my piggy during childbirth I heard it’s a 1 in 5 chance the mom dies and with my luck that will most likely happen ;(

    When my sister and I were quite young our mom let us get a couple of guinea pigs. My sister got a slick coated orange and white she named “Niff.” I got an orange, black and white one who looked like a tribble on four squat little legs. I named her “Noop.” A few weeks after bringing the piggies home I returned from school one day and noticed Noop’s pen was bloody. I then saw something wriggle next to her. My guinea pig had just given birth! Suddenly and surprisingly I now owned two guinea pigs! Her baby was a black and white boy with a medium length coat. I gave him to the neighbor kids. Both guinea pigs lived to be about three years old.

    I got my piggies and my aunt and cousin became obsessed with them, so they got one. When I convinced them that they need another because it is cruel to keep only one, they adopted a baby guinea pig that they where told was a boy. Later, they found out the new pig was not a boy, and was pregnant. I have a female piggy and neutered male piggy, so I said I would take the momma after she gave birth. I’ve had her about two weeks, noticed she was putting on a little weight. I didn’t think much of it, figured she was just still stressed from the pregnancy and the location change, though she gets along well with my piggies. A few days ago I bought harnesses for my piggies. My other female piggy is overweight and the harness was too small for her. My male fit in it fine, but when I put it on coco(the pig I got from my aunt) it was VERY obvious she was not just fat. Picked her up and held her belly and I can feel the babies moving so now I’m panic researching everything about pregnant cavies lmao

    I bought a piggy and found out you needed at least two. So my first is 1000% female. So I went and bought another female. She was just a baby. Maybe 1 month 1/2 old. I noticed after a few weeks she looked bigger. I thought maybe I’m over feeding them. At this time she wasn’t getting along with my first piggy. So I bought another pen only to notice the baby was huge! I thought she was gonna die or had a gas issue. Well, I bought her pregnant as a baby. The pet shop completely denied It was them. Two girls can’t do this. So I’m stuck with a piggy who is gonna have babies any day and I’ve owned her 6 weeks. Oh yea! She was full of lice and ringworm when I bought her. So I’m praying the medicine she had to take didn’t affect her babies. Thank you for the video ❤️

    We got a guinea pig from pet smart, and it turned out to be a male. Now my 3-4-year-old female seems to be pregnant, we just found out and we have only had the male for 2 weeks. This video scares me because if she is pregnant, I have already picked her up (She is very heavy right now), introduced a third guinea pig(Only because we thought she would pass soon), and changed the cage set up, to prevent the third guinea pig from getting pregnant. The 3-4-year-old treats the new one very well, and they are always close, but I am afraid that she won't make it, and that her babies won't. Is there anything I can do to get the best possible ending to this?

Idk what could happen cuz i was at school that time when tokyo gave birth. Is it because of sydney? Or maybe lack of vitamin c or blood poison cuz i feed them everyday grass, hay, pellets and water. But when i came back from school, no food or water. I forgot to feed them yesterday. Was it because of that? And extra info - when i came back from school, i saw sydney eating the babies.

    About early neutering, I read in your blog that you don't really find a con. I'm sure that a lot of vets don't do this kind of surgery because the high risks during the anestesia and the hormonal problems that surge of neutering an animal that's not fully develope. I don't really know if it's the same about guinea pigs, but in another species like ferrets or rabits neutering at such young age can cause hormonal problem when they get old like tumor in hormonal glands or other similar problems.

    My guinea pig give birth to 3 pups and thank God none died, this was about 1 and half ago. But about a week before she gave birth she jumped up a over her cage, and the drop was pretty far to her, at the time we had her and her mate in a cage on a high surface. She only jumped because we moved the boy to another cage under hers, I guess she got anxious and decided to jump to try to get to him. We got scared because she was our first guinea pig and her being pregnant just made us worry even more. But fast forward 2 months and now we have a total of 5 beautiful guinea pigs, and yes she safely gave birth to all 3 of her pups.

A male must of done it before we adopted her. The two babies grew up healthy and then we gave them to my aunt, and my guinea pig lived 5 more years. Now, we had no idea our guinea pig was pregnant the pet store gave us a pregnant guinea pig which is really not right since we were not told. We held her and pet her and fed her so much but luckily the babies were okay. The babies were so cute and it was sad to give them away.

    Alright we're back with part two here we goooooo:Dusk turned out to be a runt but that didn't bother us,we got the cage set up and put both piggies in.The loved it and started pop corning. So on July 27th(their birth day) I got them a new hiddy. They both loved it and would even share it sometimes.But sadly on October 29 2019 dusk left the world to be in a better place. I cried and still do when I think about it,but she's gone and i have to come to turms with that,she's in a better place and I hope she's happy. So about a few months later Its 2020.A litter of guinea pigs were born after their owner threw them out,they found out she was pregnant and threw her out with the dad.She gave birth to four babies and we got one of them,that's when we got potato chip.But the animal shelter we got her from didn't seprate the mom and dad fast enough so another litter was born.(Also i forgot to say that we got a bigger cage woops but we did the one we had was way to small,but it's our hurt guinea pig cage now :p)So we weren't origanlly going to get one of them but the animal shelter didn't want the baby to go to a family with very young children that never had a guinea pig before so we got her .Now Twix,Potato chip and Dawn are happy,and I'm sure Dusk is happy knowing her sister can move on,and be happy again,tho I can't move on,I love her so much it hurts and I try but i can't,I'm happy yes,but I loved that guinea pig more than myself,so r.i.p Dusk.

One of them has passed away at about five years old. The remaining one is still doing well. Seconding the don't breed and don't buy at chain stores message. It's easy to find nice guinea pig pets. In our case we even got baby ones.

    I just bought 3 Abbysinian cavies last Sunday and they are 2 months old. and I highly think two of my cavies are pregnant. when I bought them, they are sold together(boars and sows in the same cage).

    I adopted 3 guinea pigs thinking that they were all males that were bonded but it turns out that one was female and I noticed as soon as I got home and separated her immediately but it was too late. She ended up having 2 boys and 1 girl, the girl stayed with her mom and the boys are in a cage together. I now have 8 pigs, the 2 females are together and all 6 of my males get along and have a 3 story 3 by 5 cage (Each level is a 3 by 5).

    One of my Guinea pigs had pups and we didn't know she was pregnant until the pups for born :0 We had only had her for 2 months and we didn't notice she got fatter . Thankfully everything came out fine . She had 3 healthy pups and we kept one because she was the only girl

    I remember my guniea pigs I had 2 males and females I was too little to know that they had babies. One of them had babys that were always born dead and the other ones babys were healthy and alive they were in the same room and were handled the same way. What could have been the reason for this?

    My aunt had gotten 2 female guinea pigs, they got them from a good breeder and took them to the vet to be checked. Turns out that one beat the odds and was male. But there's no worries because my cousin is taking 2 and I'm taking 1 and they are keeping the other.
