Answers:
There is no pregnancy "test" for guinea pigs. You will just have to wait and see if she starts getting bigger. Gestation for cavies is between 59 and 73 days. Yes, they can get pregnant at that young age, which is terribly hard on your sow.
It was very irresponsible of you %26 your friend to put them together. They are going to do what nature intended them to do. There are too many homeless piggies sitting in shelters and rescues. Why add to that? Additionally, you may lose your sow in the birthing process. That would be very sad.
See http://www.guinealynx.info/breeding.html... and http://www.guinealynx.info/reproduction. for information about cavy pregnancy. Then be prepared to find the babies a GOOD home.
I'm sure that she is pregnant because even a little action can do BIG things. even though she is pretty young, the are sexually mature at about 2 weeks old.
there is a possibility she could be pregnant.
...
but why would you put a female guinea pig and a male guinea pig together in the same cage anyways?
that is the reason why pet shops seperate males and females.
so they don't reproduce like crazy
if she is I want a baby..seriosly
You really should have known better. What else did you expect to happen? That is why there are so many pigs with no homes. Please see that it doesn't happen again. It takes only a few seconds for the deed to be done.
Research and read all you can about pregnancy in guinea pigs. You're going to read a lot of scary info. For example, 1 in 5 guinea pigs (under 8 months) die giving birth. That's only the beginning. You'll relize then what risk you have put your pig in.
I wish the best for your pig, and I hope you will learn from this mistake.
I bet so. Good luck...
PREGNANT not pregnat. You'll notice if she's pregnant if her belly gets bigger and rounder. Guinea Pigs are mature at 2 weeks of age, so she probably is.
