Answer
Hello Alexis,

Guinea Pigs are pregnant for 65-75 days, the most common length of time is 68-70 days (10 weeks). If you can tell me the color of the mom and the dad as well as the grandparents and older siblings (especially if they have the same father) I could give a fairly accurate guess. If you just have the parents colors I could give possiblities based on phenotype but there will likely be other possiblities too unless your piggies are both pure for color. Basically, if you tell me the colors of their parents and other family members, I may be able to. I'll send you a link to help you identify the colors more exactly.
