If she was bonded with the other girls they would have been fine, but trying to bond with strangers and be pregnant is a bit much for an expectant mama pig. How soon is she due?
I am sure Spike is the happiest guinea pig ever. Three girls to live with all at once! Is he trilling to them.
I'm not sure when she is due to be honest. I'm almost sure that when they have a back to back pregnancy like this the babies tend to be born a lot sooner than the usual 68-72 days. When Minnie had her second litter, she was showing a lot earlier than they usually would do and the babies came earlier. I tried to work it out but the earliest a boar would get a female pregnant I would have thought would be at 3 weeks? So, going on that assumption, the babies were a lot earlier than 68 days. So, I'm guessing the same would be with Ariel. We will just have to wait and see.
Spike is definitely happy with the girls and they seem a lot happier with their new roommate. He was happily chasing them about this morning and all of them were pop corning all over the place.
