New Born Pup
Hello everyone.
New Member here.
Was looking around on this forum..., but could not really find an answer to my question, so here it comes:
Q: my male (about 8 months old) and female (about 10 months old) Guinea Pigs are mating (and have been for some time)... but she is not getting pregnant.
Personally I am not looking into breeding them per se, but I understand that when a male and female Guinea Pig are living together, they will eventually "do it", and - under normal circumstances - I would think that the female Guinea Pig would get pregnant, but not here... and I wonder why that is. (And yes, they are a boy and a girl, lol).
Was the male, for some unknown to me reason, maybe born infertile / sterile... ? (Sorry, English is not my first language).
Maybe some of you might have an (other?) explanation... ?
Looking forward to get some feedback here. Thank you - and you all have a nice Sunday / week...
