Do guinea pigs go into heat? If so, how often?

Laura E. McRae · Accepted Answer

Guinea pigs can go into heat, on average, every 15-17 days (with a range of 13-21 days). When a guinea pig is in heat she can show the following signs: increased activity, swollen vulva, chasing cage mates, swaying hips/hind end, low pitched vocalizations, and arching her back and then putting her rump in the air.
