Erm.... not sure how normal this is- my female bertie who is now about 5 months old, semi long hair, well anyway was giving her a first bath and when all the hair was wetted back she has got 4 nipples..... not quite sure what to make of this as all my other piggies that i have ever had have had just two.... anyone else seen this?
 
does sound odd all mine have 2
you would think they would have 4 though, as quite a lot of piggies will have more than 2 babies

That's what it sounds like to me. Guinea pigs only have two nipples, no matter how many babies they have/are going to have. Like dafts said, do you have a pigture?

Yer never heard of it... my pigs only have 2 aswell... some pigs can have an extra toe wich doesnt bother them so I guess a few extra nipples wouldnt bother them either...
picture? :)
