3 months old, pregnant?

21 14:06:16

Question
Hello Andy, it's been almost 2 months since I last consulted you.

The Mommy guinea pig passed away, and that was the last time I mailed you. This time, I think there's a problem with her daughter. I seperated her from her Daddy and brothers exactly on the 4th week she was born. Since then, she haven't been in contact with them other than this once, I let her out for floor time with her brother.

She's 3 months old now and I tried feeling her tummy for awhile. I feel some 'beats' in her body. I dare not confirm if it's the same as her mom's because I'm afraid of a wrong judgement. She's still young. Her mom passed away though she gave birth at the age of 6months. Help me please.

Worried, Zincky.

Answer
Hi Zincky

It still is possible she is pregnant although its less likely than before I would say.

Sadly mortaility rates are high when breeding piggies so its always best to avoid any contact between males and females.

Let me know what else you need.

Andy
