Answer
If her belly is protruding and rounded on the sides, then she is most likely pregnant. Also if you got her from a pet store or place where they didn't separate out their pigs by sex, then she is pregnant. Most guinea pigs will not bite, just approach from the side, block her off with one hand in the front and one in the back, then slide one hand behind her front legs and one hand under her bum, avoid grapping the belly in case she is pregnant. If you see or feel the babies moving in her belly then she is 3 weeks or less away from delivering. There is more info on pregnancy on my website http://woopets.bravehost.com
