Why would she be pregnant? Do you have her with a male?

She is just a baby. She may be just scared.

Has she been with a male guinea pig lately? Are you trying to breed?

Did you get her from a pet store?

Ugh.

Poor baby. 6 weeks is way too young to be bred, not that she should ever be bred but she is more at risk.

Here... you sound young and inexperienced. You don't have any business breeding.

When you put a male in with a female, you will have babies. The male should have been removed from the females at three weeks of age.

Your poor female is so young to be having babies. Did you know that there's a 20% chance that she will die giving birth? I believe, myself, that the odds are worse when the female is very young or very old.

Please remove the male from the cage right now.

she's only like a month old, how could she possibly be pregnant? i mean absolutely remove her or the male right now anyway, but i mean, do you really think she's pregnant? if she is, good luck with the babies.

What about night time? You have no idea what is going on. Although guinea pigs are diurnal, there is still activity constantly going on inside of the cage.
