Does my Guinea Pig look pregnant?
Hello! I got my 2 piggies about 5 weeks ago. I got them from a breeder, she said that they weren't mixed with boys and girls. Anyways, Pancake gets bigger everyday, and she drinks a lot of water. Cookie stays the same. And I feed them the same amount of food.
Here is Pancake:

Pancake is 3 months old by the way. And Cookie is a girl.
So, do you guys think she is pregnant, or is just getting fat?
Thanks!
Pancake looks like she is and Cookie looks like she is not. If you git her less than a month-6 weeks ago it is quite possible that she came to you already bred. Breeders foul up far less frequently than pet stores but it has been known to happen! I would say to be on the safe side, treat her as though she is bred. If she is, it is vital that you do and if she is not it won't hurt!
If she is bred, the 2 most important things you can provide are proper nutrition and stress reduction since stress leads to toxemia which is the major cause of death in pregnant pigs.
Proper nutrition means providing all the good quality 18% protein guinea pig chow with vitamin C but without seeds, nuts, crunchy bits or colored garbage, all the good quality fresh grass hay and all the water she wants. Since she is growing both herself and pups she needs a lot of protein which comes from the chow. She should also be getting a moderate amount of fresh greens.
Stress reduction means never letting food or water run out, never transporting her anywhere except in an extreme emergency and reducing the amount you pick her up as she becomes more pregnant. Don't stop paying attention to her, just reduce the lifting.
Please, once she has had her litter, do not put her in with a male again and be sure to wean the boar pups and separate them from mom and any sisters by 3 weeks of age.
