gestational period

Question
hello.  Can you please tell me the gestational time for my guinnea pig?  I'm not certain if she's if she's pregnant, but I would like to be prepared.  Please let me know at your earliest convenience.  Thank you.

Answer
Guinea pig gestation is rather long.  Expect about 65-72 days.  Pups are born fully furred with eyes open and are mobile after an hour or so.  They begin to eat solid food at 2-3 days.  Litters range in size from 3-8.

If there's anything else I can help you with, let me know
