Oh no this isn't that same guinea pig!
This is one my friend has asked me too look after, i've only had her in my house for a few weeks, and i'm just going by the dates that she's told me.

mmmmmm.... some posts have dissappeared

So She was deliberatly mated the 3rd time then passed to you

Are you keeping her or is She going back to the original owner?

What breed is She? As you seem to be dead cert on the days she was mated I would most definatly up her vitamin c as she hopefully will go a little longer.



When She does deliver do not forget to seperate the boars from her at 3/4 weeks as they can impregnate her, also keep any males away from her as She will become fertile within hours of giving birth.

YHow old is the sow?

Yes, my friend just asked me if i wanted her. She hasn't told me about the previous pregnancies or anything. So i have no idea how many she had or anything. I will be keeping her, i have 3 other females outside so she will settle in with them nicely, she's in a seperate cage atm though.

I believe she is nearly 2, but i will have to double check that.

If your friend told you the dates She was mated and that it was her 3rd pregnancy then I would have thought She would have told you about the last pregnancies and how Mother pig coped, how many pups and whether they survived etc.

I would get on to her and get as much information as possible.

Friends talk eh so surely She would want you to know for the welfare of the sow.

You're telling me, it's frustrating. Don't worry i will keep pestering her. Aha

Oh well thats a slight relief, how long ago was this ones last litter do you know?

Yes keep pestering your friend, the more you know the more you can be prepared x

According too my friend she last gave birth back in December and had a little of 5 x

Hello again. So she is 59 days pregnant now..
A few hours ago i noticed that she was sat there and it looked as though she was rocking slightly. And she has been quite vocal tonight. I went back in about 10 minutes ago and she lifted her back end into the air then sat back down.

Does this mean she will go into labour soon?
Is 59 days still too early?

Thanks.

How are things? Has she had them yet? 59 days is just in the safe time frame but would prefer her to go an extra day or so at least x
