Pregnancy Timeline for Guinea Pigs
Guinea pig pregnancies typically last about 68 days (approximately 9.5 weeks). During this time, the female guinea pig will undergo significant physical changes as she prepares to give birth.
Important Considerations
- This calculator provides an estimated delivery date based on an average gestation period. Individual guinea pigs may deliver slightly earlier or later.
- It's important to monitor the pregnant guinea pig closely in the days leading up to the expected delivery date.
- If you notice any signs of labor (such as the guinea pig digging, pacing, or having contractions) before the expected delivery date, contact your veterinarian.
- Most guinea pig deliveries occur without complications, but it's always good to be prepared for potential emergencies.
