Question
how do i tell if my Guinea pig is pregnant? and what is a sign she will be giving birth soon? what will i need to help her give birth? please help me ASAP because she is huge

Answer
Hello Kate,
Providing that your guinea is the right age to have babies then I don't think that you will experience any problems. Give her lots of vitamin c but not too much as she will get diarrhea also make sure she always has lots of fresh water. A sign that she is over 4 weeks pregnant is that you will be able to feel her babies start to move and kick. When she is a couple of days before birth her pelvic bones will have moves about 1cm apart.
Best wishes and I hope it all goes well. Sorry I couldn't reply earlier I was ill.
Best wishes
Aleksandra
