Answer
wow a fellow staffordian hello.

there is about as much chance of a guinea pig getting pregnant by a rabit as there is a human getting pregnant by one. most likly your guinea pig was pregnant before you bought her, guinea pig pregnancy lasts for about two months, so if you have only had her for four weeks she could have easily become pregnant before you had her and not showed any signs. most likly the father is going to be her brother.
anyway try not to worry, her litter should be between 2-4 as it is her first litter, if you doubt you cna look after or sell the litter then there are numerous rescues, if you live near leek or hanley then either myself or a man called Bill Salt can have them from you, otherwise there are a few other places.

would you be able to give me the name of this pet shop?
