Ok so I have just purchased a pregnant female Guinea pig. I wouldn't normally buy guinea pigs off people who are just out to make a quick buck, but in this case I couldn't help Myself. The seller was selling about 8 Guinea pigs, but this one female stood out to me. She is heavily pregnant & looks like from the picture has scabs on her face. This Sow looks like she needs to be brought back to good health & I can only hope for the best that both mum & babies survive. I pick her up tomorrow after work. so once she is settled in I will take some pics & update on her condition. I don't really like the idea of moving her whilst pregnant, but I'll be as gentle as possible.

Meet Priscilla So The Owner told Me She Is about 1 Year old & This Is Her First Litter. She Also Told My Husband That The Scab On Her Face Was From Her Fighting With The Other Pregnant Female. Not Sure When She Is Due So Its Just A Waiting Game Now. She Was A Pretty Quiet Piggie Yesterday Arvo, But perked Up Last night & Ate All Her Veggies

So About An Hour Ago I Watched Priscilla Give Birth To 2 Big Babies!! Sadly One Was DOA. The Dead Baby Weighed 109g. I didn't check the gender I was a tad upset. The live piggies I am giving time with mum before I weigh & check gender. It's dark here now so I'll take some pictures tomorrow

Congrats on the new pig and baby. Sorry about the stillborn one.
Priscilla is really beautiful. Can't believe she was sold so close to her due date >:-(
