How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the mating date when the guinea pigs were bred. Make sure to use the correct date format (YYYY-MM-DD).
  2. The gestation period (typically 68 days) is already set as the default value. This can be adjusted if needed, though it's recommended to leave it at the default for accurate calculations.
  3. Click the Calculate button to determine the expected birth date.
  4. The calculator will display the expected delivery date based on the mating date plus the standard gestation period.

Understanding Gestation in Guinea Pigs

Guinea pig pregnancies typically last between 63-72 days, with an average of 68 days. This is considered a short gestation period compared to many other animals.

Important Considerations

  • The calculated date is an estimate. Actual birth dates can vary by a few days.
  • It's best to monitor the guinea pig closely in the days leading up to the expected birth date.
  • If the due date passes without the guinea pig giving birth, consult a veterinarian.
