So if a sow doesn't take after trying to mate her with the same male (who is proven) a couple of times, what does this mean?

The cages arent in the room they are in the shop, i said i have to move them in the piggie room.
And the stuff wasnt made from a skip, its an old cage that i made for my old guinea pigs, and am using it until i get the other ones ready.
Sounds like shes not in heat.

No it could mean she is either infertile, her or the male is not healthy enough to be bred, it just hasn't taken or her and the male are not compatiable normally. That is just on step up from basic knowledge. And knowing if a breeding has taken IS basic knowledge. You obviously haven't done enough research.

there you say you made the cage and are just doing the finishing touches....what do you mean they are in the shop? I thought you made them?
Even i knew that CC and the thought of the babies scares the crap out of me! ;D

Okay so what are you suggesting, are you trying to rub in my face that i dont know, or rubbing in my face that you know more, or do you want to help me since if she is bred than i need to know, and what you are doing isnt helping, its tearing someone down and making them feel like crap while you feel good about doing what?
So if you want to help thats great, if you dont then thats fine to.

P.S. In the shop, that means our shop, we have a shop outside, its like a garage but you fix cars, tractors, or Build things. I wouldnt send materials to a shop to have someone else build it.

I am not tearing you down and it don't make me feel good about myself, in fact it makes me concerned about the poor little guineas that are going to be born into this world to someone who doesn't know the facts.

Okay then,
I actually have done research, it is not rocket science, and i can handle it. I care TONS about my pigs and am doing MY best (not YOUR best) to make sure i am doing the most I can.

I will it will be badly spelled text...maggs did a huge fart and the babies came out! :o ;D ;D ;D
I think its got to be sometime this week surely? Ive tried asking her, but these teenage mums, wont communicate, she just runs off to her room! ;D ;D
And holly. lets start over!
cc's just pointing out that you havent *really* done as much research as you make out, thats all!
If she is pregnant then we will all support you...we are like this to anyone who intentionally breeds as we are all very pro rescue, like i warned you to start with! but if shes not, please do still stick around as there are a great bunch of people here and we are like a little family, we rae just passionate about what we believe in!
i did something dumb and now have 2 pregnant sows so i know how it feels to make a mistake and everyone on here has been great at giving me support and advice! O0
basically i *think* its 2 weeks after getting caught they start to show (but dont quote me on that) they drink and eat more and may be a little nippy (mine are anyway : ;D )
I would seperate the male and female even if shes pregnant as you want to make it as stress free as possible
I dont know as I'm in the UK but there must be some local ads that maybe you could buy a second hand cage from or something? As long as they get lots of floor/run time you will be fine for now, but you will need a new cage!
Just dont talk about breeding, say you will work on sorting the cage and lets take it from there

its true, you try talking to her! i havent smelt smoke on her breath for a while which is encoraging! ;D ;D ;D
And CC, i do agree with that...it isnt rocketscience, its the lives of animals which is sooo precious, although i know that she'll think about whats been said and hopefully use it in a great way to improve the lives of her gorgeous piggies! :smitten:

Alright!
I AM moving in the cage soon, and they do get tons of free-roam time, in their piggies room. And they will be seperated so if shes not bred than she wont be. But if she is then i will learn not to do this again and will learn from it and hope i can get some help with it.
So you will all have my word that i will not breed another guinea pig on purpose. So i hope we can ALL start over.

I'm well confused :-\ In the first post you said you just made the cage but later on said you've had it ages and kept your old guineas in in.
Then you said you had 1 5x3ft cage and then later on you said you had 2 5x3ft cages..... I don't get it ?
I don't like the cage either..looks a bit minging to be honest

as an afterthought...maybe having my face looming over her 24/7 could be putting maggs off ;D ;D I'm practically head on her vagina searching for ANY sign...I wouldnt be too impressed with my mum looking at my naughty bits :o ;D
And guinea tia flossie...do you have that pic you sent me once of the little b&w diagram of the pelvis? I want to show it to the OH but i cant find it :-\ Dont worry if not!

Yes i did make it, a while back.
I already had one made but it didnt have the sliding door, it was for my ferrets to sleep in at night. And that one is "minging" because the ferrets were in it.
So i made ANOTHER one with a sliding door for the pigs.
I havent been in a real rush cause i thought it wasnt a big issue but appearently it is so i will hussle on the little things on the cage. I am trying.

Okay since i had no idea this was such a big issue, i had someone come over and help me move this cage into the piggie room. It is one of the big ones, and its 3x4.5 feet so they have plenty of room.
I tried to get an overview shot of the cage but i had to reach the camera all the way to the ceiling so its not great!
This is Gabanna's side of the cage!
This is Hank's side of the cage!
There is one pig in each side, so they have 3x2.3 feet each.
I just moved it in and not all there things are put up and we are going to make ramps since it is so tall (if we dont make a c&c cage), and since we didnt have the water holders up we made makeshift ones for now!
So some may not like the design but now it is big enough and it functions well for me.
But some have suggested the C&C cages and i had no idea you could get them at stores so I'm thinking about making one of those in the near future.
Thank you everyone for your opinions,concerns, and suggestions.
