Question
Hi Lorena!!  Thanks for all of your help.  My dad says that the babie stop kick close to there due date.  Is that true?  Thanks  

Answer
Sariah --

That could be, I know it happens sometimes in human births.  I think each guinea pig pregnancy (like human ones) is different from all others.  You can't necessariliy predict how things will happen.  To be honest, I usually leave my in-pig sows pretty much alone once their due date is close.  In fact, I even clean the cage without touching them, so I can't even document "typical" behavior.

Sorry I can't confirm or deny this one.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any more questions.  Good luck!
