Question
Hi Jules. We bought a pregnant guinea pig from a store w/out knowing she was
pregnant, and about a month l8er she gave birth to three males. We gave two to
the pet store and keep one in a seperate cage, but we think she is again
pregnant b/c she shows most of the signs of a pregnant piggy. What should we
do? Should we take her to the vet to find out for sure?

Answer
Maya,

Since she is showing most of the signs of a pregnant Guinea Pig, you can pretty much bet she is pregnant. Though if you still feel unsure if she is pregnant or not you can take her to the vet to find out for sure. It is up to you though on if you want to take her or not. Especially since you don't truly for sure if she is pregnant until she is about ready to have the babies. So if you want to know for sure right now then by all means take her to the vet. But the choice is really up to you though.

I hope this helps,
   Take care,
     Jules
