Question
My guine pig is pregnant for sure,I know this because I can feel her babies moving inside her hudge belly. The only problem is since I got her at the pet store I do not know how far along she is. I guess my question is how can you tell they are about to have thier babies, are there any signs they give you like when a dog or cat does before they deliver.

Answer
Hello Yolanda,
when a guinea pigs goes into labor she will lay on her side and start making a hiccup motion. There's no real guess to determine how far along she is. Generally guinea pigs stay pregnant for about two months though.
