Welcome to the forum. p

Don't feel bad. It happens a lot more often than I realised before I joined the forum. We also ended up with a petshop pregnant piggy.

They are stunning pigs. x) How old are the babies?

 

[kirsty1991]

The babies r 9 weeks 10 weeks nxt Friday

 

[Little Piggles]

They look lovely

Aww soo cute. Mummy pig is still only small herself.

 

[elle100]

They are beautiful

 

[kirsty1991]

I know she was only 4 months when she had them nd they are cute little devils like and greedy like

What sex are the babies? Any males should have been removed by now.

This is a useful guide if you are unsure.

I'd trust the vet over a pet shop so that's good. Are you planning on keeping them all? They are lovely.

 

[kirsty1991]

yeh as the pet shop was going to buy them off me but they are to old now so just bought a new cage

 

[Char-x]

Glad to hear you are keeping them and the pet shop didnt get them - they obviously cant be trusted if they sold you a preggars pig!

 

[kirsty1991]

Yeh that's true I just got so attached to them when they were born

 

[CiaraPatricia]

They're so beautiful! Lucky they were both girls

The mom must be happy to have her babies to keep her company

Oh and I bought a pregnant guinea pig in a pet shop too! I'm glad I did because her baby was so lovely, I kept him too (in another cage with other boys). I don't want to ever buy one in a bad pet shop again.

 

[kirsty1991]

Your telling me 1 of the babies bubbles is in the cage with her mam but the other 1 squeak had 2 go into a cage on her own as bubbles was attacking her

 

[Lisajazz]

Beautiful! Are the babies getting the himi markings like mum?

 

[KimberleysWheekers]

Ooooo I love x) himi's!

Hi! I am glad that you are going to keep your lovely girls! But I can understand why you fell for gorgeous Snowbell.

Sadly, pet shop pregnancies are far more common than you'd think. I started my piggy life as a "shop granny" as well... mallethead Now I stick to rescues!

 

[kirsty1991]

Your telling me. Snowbell is the most pleasant guinea pig you can meet all she does is lie in your hair all day and they all eat out your hand

And yeah they have got mammys markings when they are all together its very different to tell them apart

 

[Romily]

They are all lovely and I am so glad that you have decided to keep them all! Have you thought about getting squeak a friend if she is by herself at the moment?

 

[kirsty1991]

ive fought about it and when i took her to the vets they said since she comes out all the tym she should b fine
