AnswerWhen guinea pigs are pregnant there is the obvious tummy getting big and their nipples will enlarge for the last few days and during labor, here is the time scale on which Guinea pigs should go by...
Week 1 No signs
Week 2 Sow may start drinking more
Week 3 Sow will start gaining weight, there will be a tightening of the abdomen muscles.
Week 4 An experienced breeder will be able to feel small foetuses
Week 5 Sow usually looks noticeably pregnant, taking on a rather rounded appearance. You will be able to feel the outlines of the foetuses.
Week 7 You will be able to feel 'quickening' this is when the babies kick
Week 9 It may become difficult for the sow to move around but she should still be active and eat and drink as normal.
The pelvic bones will separate sometime during this week
Week 10 The babies will be born
