Guinea Pig Pregnancy Calculator

1. What is Guinea Pig Pregnancy?

Definition: Guinea pig pregnancy is the period from breeding to giving birth, typically lasting 59-72 days, with an average of 65 days.

Purpose: This calculator helps you estimate when your guinea pig will give birth to little pups.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator estimates the due date based on the breeding date with this formula:

\[ \text{Due Date} = \text{Breeding Date} + 65 \, \text{days} \]

Explanation: The average gestation period for guinea pigs is around 65 days, though births can occur between 59 and 72 days after breeding.

3. Signs of Guinea Pig Pregnancy

Indicators: Look for weight gain, a tighter abdomen (after 2-3 weeks), and possible behavioral changes near delivery.

4. Preparing for Birth

Tips: Ensure a nutritious diet, provide a safe birthing area, and monitor closely. Guinea pigs often have 2-4 pups per litter.
