It actually isn't recommended that the mom be separated from other females during pregnancy, birth, and care of the babies. I have never, ever heard of even someone claiming that guinea pig's harm the babies even if they aren't the mother. They actually HELP the mother and the babies, not harm. By separating the mother, you create stress because now she is all alone.
I was going to comment that. Thank you!
Can u separate them if it’s a male?
Adventure Time
I would, males are more agressive
Agreed, they need companionship to thrive.
@@pizzermaster1145 yes
A lot of this information is actually incorrect, and the statistics are way off. To anyone with a pregnant guinea pig: it CAN be risky, but try not to get too stressed over it. Your piggy will most likely be alright with proper care ❤️
Exactly. I'm a new breeder and I just got my first female about a month ago. I've had males since I was eight years old, and after careful consideration, I decided to get a female to breed. But I found out a few weeks ago, she's already pregnant from the place I got her from, not even from my male. I've been taking good care of her and she is very happy and healthy. The stats are definitely quite exaggerated and there really isn't much to worry about as long as you're professional and actually take good care of your pets
Agreed
But what if my pregnant pig is 3yo
Kaylee kay if she’s three years old and hasn’t previously been pregnant, her pelvic bones are most likely fused. this can cause difficulty during birth. it maybe be a good idea to see a vet, but i know that isn’t always an option for people. the situation is definitely dangerous and needs to be monitored!
I love guinea pigs
I had a male guinea pig then I got another one...so I thought. The people at the pet shop said she was male but now I have a pregnant guinea pig named Barnaby on my hands and I'm struggling
And there are like no vets around here.
Ristygirl is she seperated from the male? And hows her pregnancy going? 😁
@@jopwestra2614 she is now and it's going great! She doesn't want to be touched as much anymore which makes me a little sad but I understand it
Pray she doesn't die!!
I will have fingers crossed for you!
How is she now? How are the babies?
You should not separate her (the female pregnant piggy) from others. I kept my female with her hubby (the unfixed male that impregnated her) until she started going into labor then removed him. While she is pregnant he can't impregnate her again so there's no need for separation. He was a very good boy and always looked after her. All pigs are different so always check on them. They love having eachother around especially if thats who and what they know.
Separating her from her home and fellow companions can cause stress to your pregnant piggy. Keeping her with her companions, comfortable for as long as possible is the best for her. Obviously once in labor and giving birth - do not have any other pigs around. Just her and her new borns. . . But to change her home and take her away from her friend/friends is not cool. It's like you are punishing her (your piggy) for being pregnant. Like she has to be alone, when she doesn't have to be.
I currently have a pregnant female with other females and she is super happy and healthy. :)
Please care for your pigs properly and do your research! These babies are precious and deserve the best care.
Guinea pigs handle each other well, only the boars around should be neutered. Else I'd also say they are too comfy with others around .. If they need some quiet space they go to a dark hidey.
Ultrasounds for guinea pigs??? That is crazy.
i'm sorry but i have to say that if no one was breeding guinea pigs, we wouldn't have them as pets...
I do agree that it should be considered VERY carefully, and that breeding is not done for profit.... but we still need the responsible and skillful breeders.
but to say that no one should EVER breed guinea pigs - well... someone bred YOUR pets as well, and you wouldn't consider not having them, would you?
The need for skillful breeders is needed, yes, but this video isn't for them. This video is for people who go to the pet store and come home with a pregnant guinea pig and don't know what to do. Additionally, the advice to never breed them is for the general public, not the 5% of people who actually know how to safely breed guinea pigs. Thank you for your input to the conversation! :)
Um you don’t have to separate her from another females...
yes you do mine were fighting
it is better to do this,for the babies can get confused and might think another guinea pig is their mother,and guinea pigs tend to fight and that can be a risk to the mother while she is pregnant and the child after its born,take this from a person who has three guinea pig and nine before that also i have had a pregnant guinea pig before.But I'm not a breeder she was pregnant when we got her from the pet store.
No you do not
@@Kellygirl2688 I don't have to explain this again do I?If so babies guinea pigs will get very confused and think other piggies are they're mom.Also the fighting guinea pigs do can kill the unborn piggies and even hurt the mom.Even if the babies are born the other piggies might fight with the mom and kill the by accident.Another thing to point out is it lowers stress levels for the mom making the pregnancy easier on the mom.That is the reason to seperate the other piggies from momma and babies.Please have a great day/night.
@@Akkaizzdaaa other *females*
Omg my Guinea pig just loves to scream. She purs sometimes it sounds weird but it's cute
Mines purr a lot too :D I love it. And my piggy is pregnant and I’m in total PANIC because I can’t take her to the vet because I got COVID my life sucks :’)
Females actually do better in female groups when pregnant, they form matriarchal societies and feel comforted and protected in their group.
We didn't know our pig was pregnant until she literally gave birth, so we were picking her up daily wondering why she was so fat and she was in with 2 boys the whole time (they were sold to us as 'girls'). She was also over a year old, all 3 babies were fine thank goodness, we kept the 2 daughters, mum and the dad.
This is so typical for pets from the store. Vets also often don't know that guinea males are able to conceive children at the age of only 2,5 weeks..( depending on weight and evolution).
This just happened to me too
No good 2 seperate as piggies need other piggies for comfort during birthing.
Unless they fight! Sorry just to say too
Thank you for posting this, my friends guinea pig is possibly pregnant so I wanted to help her :)
I think my piggie is pregnant
Yes same
my new guinea pig is pregnant and im absolutely terrified because ive been picking her up everyday to bond with her, not knowing she was pregnant until now. im so scared that i might’ve hurt them.
gabby m same
Great video! I love the fact that I definitely think this is one of your callings! I can hear so much passion and professionalism in your voice! Very informative.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Mine was a accident she was supposed to be a boy and hopefully she and the baby's are alright because she is one and her time being pregnant
Hi , did it survive the pregnancy and are the babies ok?
My guinea pig is pregnant, and I’m ready for her to have her little babies!
Those stats at the beginning are so wrong. I have a stud. Ive had well over 50 litters in the last few years and never lost a mum and a total of 4 still borns/babies neglected at birth.
So true!! My dad is a prof breeder and he has had about 200 baby pigs. 2 babies died and 0 moms died.
I got my 2 guinea pigs in July of this year and the pet shop I got them from told me they were both males and the other day I found out that one of my piggies are female and she’s pregnant 🙂
Same here 😂 also July
Why a pet store? They mentally abuse animals there, next time go to a local shelter
Same here
Adopted two pigs and was told they were both boys a little later I have a pregnant guniea pig who i was told was a boy but I’m really scared cause she is not even a year she is 5 weeks or so 😬
Its not risky if your a good owner
will u plz tell me at what age or fro. which month they start mating m having for the first time guinea pig so i dont know will u plz tell me.
Thank you!Just followed all the steps!
I got a guinea pig (Manila) from a pet store about a month ago, she was 3 months old at the time I got her, there was a male in the cage with her. I’ve noticed that she seems to weight more, I don’t handle her often because I respect her space, but when I try to she seems more annoyed than before. Her other sister seems to be more active than her too, I’ve also been changing their water a lot more often, their hay and food too. Since they seem to eat more and drink more than before. But then again Manila is still young and may need more food and water as she grows. So I really don’t know ?
Take them to a vet! Not so active could mean she's sick not pregnant or maybe both.
I don't know where she got the idea to separate her pregnant piggy, but this seems like a really bad idea to me. It is incredibly stressful to my pigs to be away from their herd so this seems like a really bad thing to do.
I have tried tge dividder but it WILL NOT work ive tried everything to keep my boys from getting in. Ive tried riot cuffs,binder clips and tape .any advice?
Wow those are some determined pigs! It looks like you should probably get a second cage for the boys.
@@pigaroohq2732 she had stillborns :(
@@katsukibakugo1811 I'm so sorry to hear :( I've unfortunately heard a lot of sad news about dead babies and moms lately, though. That's why I've been ignoring all the hate comments. :(
I didn’t do none of this when my guinea pig was pregnant I kept them in the same cage as the dad and she had three healthy babies the dad didn’t really even notice all he ever did was pick them up and carry them out of his bed
Smash
You should've separated them because he could've impregnated mom and babies again really soon. At least nothing happened though. I think that's funny that he moved them from his bed 😂
I have an 8 week old guinea whos pregnant any tips or is it the same
Take extra care of her and also there's a high chance there still born
@@dianeboyson2703 The chances of them being stillborn are relatively low as long as mama's getting fresh veggies, hay, pellets, and clean water each day and she's not being handled roughly
I think mine prego and she 2 months
I got two guinea pigs that were supposed to be female. I found out yesterday that one is a male and we separated them immediately. I am really worried about my baby girl because she is so young. She is only four weeks old and I am worried she may be pregnant. I’m so scared that it will kill her. I haven’t seen any signs of her being pregnant but they were together for three days and there is a high chance of her being pregnant.
The same happened to me... almost identical. How is she now? Is she ok?
Pregnant at 4 weeks is not ideal, but there's a chance she is not pregnant and even if she probably will be ok. Take her to a vet in a few weeks to be sure!
How much is it to take Guinea pigs for a checkup ? I'm from the UK and google doesn't help much
why am i watching this my guinea pig died this summer i did think she was pregnant because she looked fat around her stomach
My guinea pig is 4 years old and shes pregnant. I'm so scared I love her so much and dont want her to die. Heres the story: we had 2 female guinea pigs and decided to get another one. We went to this small animal shop in the city. All the guinea pigs were mixed together so someone had to check their gender. A worker checked super quick but at the time we thought it was fine. We brought him(at this time we thought he was a girl) and put him in the cage with the 2 other piggies. We named this pig turnip. Turnip kinda seemed to bother the other pigs at first, but we didnt think anything of it because our other 2 piggies are 4 and 6 and hes pretty young. 5 months later, one of our friends had a pregnant Guinea pig and we noticed one of our guinea pigs sort of looked like that (pregnant). We figured out that turnip wasn't just playing, turnip was humping her. This was a shock to us, especially considering how old she is. It is now February and we found out she was pregnant in mid December. She still hasnt had her babies and I'm starting to get worried. If anyone has any advice or anything please reply. I have no clue what to do and I want the best for my piggie.
How did it turn out for your girl? Did she have her babies?
If i seperate my two guinea pigs the pregnant one gets really stressed so-
Theres actually a lot of misinformation in this video so as long as it’s not with a male then it should be good or if it is and your girl seems fine then yours is just different and you know what they like or don’t
About two months ago I bought two Guinea pigs Roxxane and Beatrice both females and for sure were female but both pregnant 9 guinea pigs in total
Ok I’m freaking out my piggy is having the shape of a pear and is ultra hungry and thirsty and also aggressive to my male guinea pig i recently got them both from someone so they didn’t give me any information other then just handing them to me so thank you for sharing this info!
My guinea pig is pregnant
The shelter said she was a boy and I had a boy already so she’s pregnant
I NEED more information
Is there anything else I should know
How did it go? I think money is pregnant :0
I took in a pregnant guinea pig with her daughter who just turned one month...do I have to seperate them before momma gives birth?
Once I know that my guinea pig is pregnant, I prep up my grill and kabaa sticks ready.
Hey! Been watching ur vids since my piggie had her first litter❤almost 2 Yrs ago now…btw just wanted to say that please don’t give news that Guinea pig pregnancy is negative or something very since for those who r first. Time guinea pig owner they will get scared and also it’s not rise to make an animals pregnancy negative so please don’t spread this fake news….❤ no hate btw
My pregnant guinea pig is around 5 months old and we don't have enough to go to the vet, do you know if it's okay to be that young?
It should be fine, but you should search for a local rescue. They usual will do health checks for free!
The younger they have their first litter the better. Ideally if they are ever going to have babies it should be before 8 months old
@@heythere5817 how soon should i breed my 2 Girly Piggies? What is the recomended age so the bones wont fuse together?
@@heythere5817 Is It Okay If they get pregnant at six weeks old?
Someone please help!!! My guinea pig is pregnant but she seems sliggish and we cant afford a vet. She is about to enter week 7 and we see the babies moving but she is having contractions. Is this normal, can I get some advice please??
My girl is a rescue and my vet said it's not a good idea to separate her from her cage mate... I'm confused??????????
I have a guinea pig that is a few years old, and she has already accidentally had babies, and this was about when she was only a two months old, and we also didn’t know she was pregnant, so she was with another female guinea pig who I also think she helped nurse them. Is it okay for her to have another guinea pig, if so, am I still aloud to have the other guinea pig with her?
I rescued my pregnant guinea pig too
I separated my Male from my pregnant female and my male keeps chewing and wanting to break out. Hes mad. But I dont want him to kill or stress her out. Idk what to do
do not separate the piggies!
What do you use to give i give alot carrots
my guinea pig sound like this on your video 1:00 and 2:00 and 3:00

My Guinea pig is 2.5 months old but I thik she is pregnant because her stomach looks bigger. Is it possible for 2.5 months old piggy to get pregnant???
As I am new owner for the first time I pet Guinea pigs can you please help?
babies can get through those dividers. I recommned you create something to keep the babies from crossing over
ok so i got 2 guinea pigs off of ksl and it said that they where bolth male but i noteced the month younger one started humping the other one i thought it was to assert domanance then i noticed the one who was beeing humped started getting bigger and more pear shaped so i was worried about it what should i do now?
and i still dont know if they are bolth male. but the fatter one starts squealling if i touch his/her belly
We’re did you get the devider
Broo im so sad bc my guinea just hit 9 weeks and is prego but i think with only one baby. She was spose to be a boy tho
Is she ok? And are the babies ok now?
My sister got 2 female guinea pigs from a friend of hers. I told my sister I would take both because they are a bonded pair. My sister gave one to another friend of hers then brought her back. While she was with her friend, they put her with the male they had. Now I'm not sure if she is pregnant. They claim the male didn't get to her back but I'm worried that he did and they r lying. The female is starting to get a little rounder. How will ik for sure if she pregnant or is just gaining weight because I'm feeding her a proper diet. They have never really eaten veggies or fruits.
Do not give them back to the friend. Don't risk impregnating her at all. She may just be gaining weight from the diet but if she shows signs such as extreme laziness and eating LOTS, she may be pregnant. Just handle her gently and give her fresh food, veggies, and hay every day along with clean water. Good luck 😊
I will not give them back. I have a male but they r not or never will be put in the same cage. My sister gave me the male and she wanted to take him back but I refused because all they want to do is breed them and I will not allow it. I've been giving fresh veggies daily and hay. I have the dates set up for when she might give birth if she is and planning on making things as comfortable as possible for her when and if she delivers
@@raquelsolis9824 Good job. You're doing everything exactly right so you have nothing to worry about. Congrats on the babies, btw (:
Thank you! I'm so scared but I'm doing research and ik mama and babies will be just fine. I'm gonna love those babies.
I am so scared my guinea pig is pregnant and also its quarantine should i take her to hospital i am freaking out what if her baby dies please somebody help me please 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
@Glunck thanks sure i will take him
Its better to rescue guinea pigs that are already here than to breed. Especially because breeding has potential risks. My female got pregnant because I was told I was given two boys, I love the babies and I kept everyone healthy as possible but I'm lucky to have all healthy little ones and a healthy mom, it's sad to hear about people who purposefully breed and then the mom and babies are unwell due to a lack of education about how to properly care for them.
what is the hay you were talking about? Was it alphifia hay????????????
So I think my piggy is pregnant but my mother doesnt believe me!
Do you have to go to your vet to ask if they can have carrots or can you just give them carrots
What should i do if I got a pair of gpigs from a friend and they are really young, theu got them from petsmart and couldn't keep em so they gave em to me and i checked there is a female and she is pair shaped and is young
I seperated them but they are side by side with a divider
Yeah I hope you feel like a lot better
My guinea pig is pregnant!
How long the guinea pig be pregnant for? We have one and she's pregnant.
mine gave birth a week ago & unfortunately two of her babies were born dead & I wonder could it be the male who caused this ? cuz I didn't separate him from her the entire pregnancy !!
I didnt even know my Guinea pig was pregnant, it just gave birth today.
I need help, my guinea pig is doing all of this but idk of she’s pregnant. I got her in December from Petco with her other Guinean pig that came with her. She looks pregnant but I can’t see how Bc I don’t have a boy guinea pig, could she just be eating more?
Petco does have history with giving pregnant piggies
My guines pig at 73day and she is never give birth
Her stomach became big But No much
Does it make sense she's not pregnant??
My female Guinea pig accidentally got pregnant at least I think she is bulging from the sides and seems to be getting bigger but idk if it's just chunky like the male but I am gonna use our extra cage just because the male and her get along so well they have chewed at the divider soonest our vet could get her in is july first but if she is pregnant I feel she may have them before that appointment due to her size but she has been given the appropriate diet and she likes apple pieces is that ok to be giving her she usually gets a lil chunk in morning with her hay
i was sold two females and now i have a pregnant female and an improperly named male
I need help y’all I have 3 females and 2 males they were separated but one of my males got into the girls cage I have a 2 1/2 year old female in that cage along with some 3-4 month old piggies please if y’all can give me tips for them idk if there pregnant yet but I’m praying at the very least the older one is not
My guinea pig just gave birth of 2 baby, shall I seperate the other male guinea pig? And left mom with 2 babies?
I can’t take mine to a vet and I really thinks she is Pregnant.. what can I do to know if she is in Pregnant or not please help me :(
Do you need to separate mom and dad piggies
Guinea pig was skinny but I didn't know she was pregnant I put her with a male cuz I had to clean her cage and the next day she had babies in his cage
Do they make noises when giveing birth or before?? That is what my mom said...
Hello what should I do if both of my guinea pigs are pregnant
i had guinea pig male and female and i was my foult for not separating the father becouse he killed the babies 2x already so i have been regretting it so thats why i could say that its really necessary to separate the male frome the female after or before it will give birth
I have a pregnant guinea pig and she gave birth. After two days her two babies died
When mine hade hers we hade no ideal we got her halfway in to it
how to stop guniea pig getting pregnant plz tell
I just found out our youngest female is pregnant...I know everyone has their opinions...I had my females together and they have gotten along until she became pregnant...now our oldest female attacks our pregnant one...we have separated them and they have their own space..they seem to like it like that except now our oldest female wants to take over the pregnant guinea pigs space...I guess we will have to take it day to day...but I guess all I'm saying is it really depends on the pigs:)
ok
Can i put one male with 2 females
So if my geinea pigs are baby’s does that mean they can still get pregnant or not cuz I got a girl and boy. Cuz I just got them from a pet store and there still baby’s but can the get pregnant?
If they are old enough to be separated from the mom, they are old enough to impregnate and get pregnant.
How do u know if your guinea pig is pregnant
Some wrong info here- girl guinea pigs fine to stay together. Can help with the babies & will NOT harm them. More stress for separation from herd.
So this stupid breeding sold me a girl and boy guinea pig so know mine is pregnant. I separated them please help me. Please pray for me
One like is a prayer that all of them survive
I think that my 2 year old guinea pig is pregnant and she hasn’t ever had babies before .. HELP
How did it turn out for her?
a LOT of this info is just wrong. NEVER isolate a pregnant female, guinea pigs left together will actually co-parent. guinea pigs don't attack or kill their own offspring, not even the males, although that was one correct point, remove the male before the babies are born. the rest of the info, including those wildly incorrect stats, is framing pregnancy as a pathology, instead of a natural process. the vast majority of guinea pigs give birth without a hitch. the one issue is that a female MUST be bred before she is 7 months old or her pelvis will be unable to expand to let the babies out. so never try to breed a fully adult female unless you know for a fact that she is under 7 months old.
Yes thank you!!! Someone said it. Keep the bore AWAY from the mother and babies. God I had a horror story when I was little and I even had read it in a book to keep males from the babies as they often eat them or fight them in adolescents. My mom put the last baby with the male.. they both died. 🥺
What isa vet???
Can we feed pineapple 🍍 when our guinea pig became pregnent? My pigs had premature babies today 😭. What is your suggestions about next pregnency precautions?
No! They can't have any citrus fruits, it is very risky and dangerous
When I can put her in same cage with her boy guinea pig. His name is Chuchu and her name is kunji Chuchu❤️
@@ranjushaps6212 You should keep the baby boy with his mother until he is 3 weeks old, after that, he has to be separated. If he is kept with his mother after the 3 weeks he can impregnate her.
Thank you sooo much for this information!
thank u so much that was usefull
I breed my guinea pigs but I know they're going to go to a good home but this time I'm keeping all the babies I'm making a huge enclosure she's going to give birth in at least two weeks cheese pretty big but not as big as my first clutch babies
mam,in my opinion prega Guinie pigs no need to keep separate to another male famales from partners..
bcz this is not a Rabbit , when Rabbit female given birth , male Rabbit must be separate from them otherwise male will eat & kill babbies very fast .. its happend with me when i bought first time at home,
but Gunie not to worry about that , thanks.
My guinea pig might be pregnant. I am very nervous idk why
Same the pet shop told us that they where both girls they also sold us sick pigs it was Petco I hate Petco now. We are freaking out because ahhh
I thought both of my guineapigs were girls or so we were told by the adoption agency but then we when your there and there were two babies
What? Separating guinea pigs from each other is not good at all. When you put her away, she's stressed, she doesn't know what's going on, and she's scared. In extreme cases, the guinea pig may miscarry due to separation from others. Not because he stays with them. The other females calm her down and help her with childbirth. Plus, the statics aren't right. I've had ten females in my life, they all gave birth and they all survived.
Sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker, but I had to comment because some of the information in this video are nonsense.
