Question
Hi there, i've had my 2 guinea pigs since the 21st april which was a while ago. at the time we were told that they were both female, but now one of them is showing all the signs of pregnancy, eating and drinking more, prominent nippes, gaining weight, etc...is it possible shes pregnant? i really have no idea because the guinea pigs were both meant to be female and im really confused. please help.

Answer
Hi Samantha

It certainly sounds like she is pregnant. Take a look at the link below so you can verify their gender.

After you have established their sexes, please write back and I will try to give you some tips on what to expect, timescales etc.
