Hey fellow piggy lovers!
I have 3 Guinea pigs, all female. They are all abyssians and they all had a vet check before I brought them home.
Caramel, Paris and Sunny have been with me for 4 weeks but they were about 7 weeks old when I got them from a shelter... they were abandoned in a box outside a vets!
Caramel has recently been piling the weight on. She is growing at a much larger rate than the other two and her hips have gotten very wide, in a pear shape. From what I have seen, she is the more dominant lady judging by her chin heightening, rumble strutting and mounting of the other two.
Recently she has been rumble strutting more, eating more, drinking more and resting a lot more around their cage.
I phoned the shelter I got them from and told them my worries. They said that there is a chance there was a mix up with the pens they were in and that there could have been a male in the pen with them when I picked them out. Due to this I am taking her in tomorrow for a free check up/ultrasound. I want to know what your experiences are, if Caramel could be pregnant or maybe I am just being over cautious.
For those who need added infomation:
The three of them are in a 5 x 4 two tier C and C indoor cage. They get fed a mixture of veggies twice a day, fresh water and they always have Timothy and meadow hay available to them constantly.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Love,
Caramel, Sunny, Paris and Mom
