Sorry to hear all this! I really don't think I could still be friends with someone if they put my pigs at risk like this.

I am going through something similar at the moment, my OH let my Teddy sow and boar out together and I just found out she's about 1-2 weeks away from giving birth! mallethead I've told him not to speak to me at all until the pups are here and healthy and so is my sow. I'm debating whether or not to let him come back from his parents until then as well and if anything happens to any of them, I'll really make him regret it!

So... on my list currently, is another VERY large cage just like the one he bought after his stupidity allowed Coconut and Cinnamon to have babies, not that I'd ever wish they weren't here now, but I was very worried about Cinnamon at the time, a new run, so many chews that you can't count them, loads of Veg, Alfalfa hay, some new water bottles... I could go on...

I think if yours are preg, she should contribute at least to their housing etc and... I think the fact that you are this concerned about their health and wellbeing means that they are very lucky to have you whether or not they are pregnant. So many people just don't care or don't care enough to learn about the proper care of their animals. You can proudly say you are not one of those "people". I think that the very fact you are here asking for advice on what to do shows that.

oh god... good luck...

i already have 7 piggies...
4 cages... (2 boys in one, 2 girls in one, castrated boy and girl, and ofcorse thorn in one)
3 runs in the garden currently under construction....

as far as emergency vet bills are concerned... I'm not too worried... i mean i hardly have any spare money, but my vets are fantastic.... if its an emergency they will let me pay little bits when i can... :)

god knows where I'm going to put more cages...
if they both have 5 like cleo did... that 10 more piggies...!

and there a hell of alot healthier than cleo was when i got her (hevily pregnant) so that could be why out of 5 only one survived.... the one I'm hand rearing....

i just csant cope with the idea of either of my girlies becoming ill... or having to hand rear any more babies... ebcause dont get me wrong... i dont begrudge thorn for hand rearing him but my god it was such hard work...!

i was totally emotionally drained after cleo had her babies... but for that to happen twice over at the same time...?!?!?!?!?

oh god... more cages.... more food.... more space.... more money... I'm slightly freeking out over this...
but i will find a way if they are preggers...

how oftern are there seasons...?
because if we go roughly be behavior (they were very tempermental) they were acting short tempered anout 2-3 weeks ago...?!?!?!?
this is just a rough amount of time....
do you think they were in season...?

Thats a lot of pigs... I have 11, 8 sows and 3 boars in 5 cages and 3 runs... More babies will mean moving around and will also probably mean more cages depending on their sexes.

It's good you have a vet like that, I have a cavy savvy vet as well but I have to pay up then and there or they keep my pigs until I do... Not that I mind paying but I guess they've had trouble with people running up bills and not clearing them.

I followed the thread on Thorn and Cleo, I was sorry to read about Rose :( but I think the job you have done is fantastic.

Well I don't know a lot but I do know that Guinea pigs go into season every 15/16 days which usually lasts for about 24-48 hours... So it's possible

I'm going to guess you may have missed it take a note of the weekend dates and when they are next in season and you can work backwards. also i think if they have another season then they aren't pregnant i think.
 
Everything crossed for you that the girls aren't pregnant.

I would seriously reconsider any future relationship with this "friend" though. If someone trusted me to do something very important for them, I would do my utmost to follow their instructions to the letter. If I goofed, I certainly wouldn't be so casual about it and would at the very least (in a case like this one) offer to pay for all vet bills and contribute to the care costs that resulted from my negligence.

This friend should offer to do the same if they value your friendship at all.
