Question
hi, i bought a guinea pig from a pet shop and she was with boys and girls is it possible that she could be pregnant. i think she mite be. is it normal for girl guinea pigs nipples to stick out heaps or is that a sign of pregnancy?

thanks  

Answer
She is most likely pregnant, also if she has a round belly and is drinking and eating a lot, those are also signs. Her nipples sticking out my be a sign that she has had a litter of babies before. There is some more information on my website about piggy pregnancy, http://woopets.bravehost.com . Females can get pregnant again right after delivering  a litter of babies, so even if she just had a litter, she could be pregnant again. Let me know if you have any more questions.
