Question
how can u tell if your guinea pig is about to go in to labour?

Answer
Holly,
A guinea pig will start breathing quickly and will be very restless.
They will not start screaming - that is a common mistake, as they do not want to attract predators. Pup movement will slow down the day before delivery or the day of the delivery. She will find a corner somewhere and you will see contractions, a little like, a ripple going from here head to her bottom.
