Thank you for submitting your question regarding your Guinea pig. You will need to have her examined by a veterinarian to know for sure if she is pregnant or not. The gestation period is roughly two months. This should help you know as well depending on how long you have owned her. Go slow around her and offer small treats to help her build trust in you. I hope this information helps!
