Can a guinea pig be pregnant even if they're young because I've only had my guinea pig for 1 week and 4 days?
My guinea pig was pregnant toI recently bought my guinea pig from pets mart. I had my guinea pig for 1 week and then one night i went in to say good night and there were three baby's in there with her. Unfortunately for me they were dead. It was unexpected and a total and complete shock. She was only 3 months old!!! LUCKILY though my guinea pig is happy and health to this day. I just tried to push the past out of my mind. If you think your guinea pig is pregnant take her to a vet. And handle her with care, and if possible don't handle her as much if she is pregnant. ALSO don't get your hopes up if she is young and pregnant the chances the babies will live to be healthy and the mom is very not likely but miracles happen hope things turn out for the best, a.m.l they may have been pregnant or housed with a male before you bought it. No, not at one week, but they can become pregnant at three weeks old. Mine had that problem she is 12 weeks and is going to give birth any day now ^ they say a guinea pig can get pregnant at 4 weeks old....we also have a guinie pig who we got already pregnant....when a guinia pig has babys u need to split the boys from the girls at 4 weeks as brothers can get there sister or mother pregnant at this age ...they r then pregnant for about 9 / 10 weeks .... and babys will be born with fur and eyes open

Once you can see movement of the babies, there isn't much waiting left. It is hard to know when a guinea pig is pregnant. It only takes about 2 months gestation.

I'm not sure whether they shed hair, but when my guinea pig was pregnant, she got bald patches on her belly and, I was told this was normal. Shedding while pregnant does happen sometimes, I'm not sure why, but I've seen it happen and was told that it wasn't a bad sign, it was just the hormones changing and their system having trouble keeping up with the swift changes.

Is my guinea pig to young to be pregnant she is 3 months help me i'm not sure how to care for an underaged requirement pregnant guinea pig?
Your guinea pig is much too young. Guinea pigs become fertile after about 4 weeks, but it's safest for the mother (and her babies) not to be breed before at least 6 months. The best thing you can do is get her checked in with the vet, and ensure she's alone in the cage with fresh bedding and plenty of food and water. Good luck with her.
