As you know i have started a guinea pig rescue. I have just got in 3 sows. How long should i leave them before i advertise them for rehoming. They seem healthy but wander if i should wait incase they are pregnant. Don't think they are but what is the best time to wait?
 
If sows may have been near boars, I keep them 10 weeks to make sure. If they come from a pet home and were the only piggies there, I wouldn't wait as long.

I quarantine everything for at least 2 weeks before putting them up for rehoming to be on the safe side, as sometimes it can take that long for symptoms to show (e.g ringworm).

On the website I have a page for 'new arrivals' that is updated whenever new piggies come in... then they get put on the rehoming page once through quarantine. People can reserve piggies for rehoming once they're through quarantine.
