Is my guinea pig Bloated or pregnant?
I noticed yesterday that she was really puffy somewhere around the legs and stomach.I don't know is she's pregnant or bloated. I don't have a male guinea pig so I don't think she's pregnant...She's been acting like her normal self
AnswerGuinea pigs are not typically candidates for bloat such as a rabbit would get. How long have you had her? I ask because she most definitely looks pregnant, very pregnant.
Gently hold your hands on both sides of her belly. You may have to wait a few minutes, but if you feel a kick or movement.... you have your answer. A sow is pregnant for ten weeks, so if you got her in the last couple of months she is pregnant and came to you that way.
If you have another pig, double check the sex. It's not unusual for people not to realize they have a boar until the female room mate ends up pregnant.
