Question
Hi ,
Its Brianna again
Thank you for the last advise it was help full.
I was just wounder if you know how long it take for a guinea pig to give birth , because my guinea pig Ruby has been pregnant for 15 weeks
thanks

Answer
Hi Brianna,

Guinea pigs are usually pregnant for 68-72 days (9-10 weeks).

If you're sure Ruby has been pregnant for 15 weeks, I strongly suggest you take her to a specialist small animal or exotic pet vet for an examination. It could be that something has gone wrong and she is unable to deliver the babies, or hopefully she fell pregnant later than you first though.

Good luck and if you have any other questions, just ask.

Jenny.
