pregnant or in heat?

Question
hello.  I have two female guinea pigs that were recently purchased at a pet store.  They were relatively young when purchased.  I was just wondering what are the signs of a guinea pig in heat and what are the signs of a pregnant guinea pig?  Thanks!

Hello Jennie

When in heat the females will rumble strut this is when they walk close to the ground with bottom in air bottom swaying and making a purring sound, they will also mount other guinea pigs. When pregnant they will drink more water and eat more, four weeks into the pregnancy there belly gets rounder, two weeks before birth you can feel the babys kicking.

I hope this helps if you have any more questions feel free to ask.
