Answer
Hi Kathleen!
Sorry for my slow response, my guinea pig just had babies and its been hectic! :)
You need to feed them grain, you cant just cut them off completely they need the nutrients. Pregnant sows should be fed however much they want. They really need the minerals and nutrients to make the babies grow strong and healthy!
So keep feeding her pellets and keep up the good work! Also keep feeding her fresh vegetables and alfalfa hay!
Good Luck,
