Physical signs of pregnancy are hard to detect, and often only become apparent towards the end of pregnancy. Nevertheless, you may notice your guinea pig begin to eat and drink more, and their belly begin to grow see Tell if Your Guinea Pig Is Pregnant. Do not apply pressure to the abdomen as you may cause a miscarriage. Be aware that young guinea pigs will begin to eat more as they grow anyway. Small litters do not cause the belly to enlarge significantly, and will not be as noticeable. All guinea pigs enjoy burrowing down in hay, but do not nest specifically because of pregnancy. If you suspect your sow is pregnant, take her to the vet to make sure. The vet will feel her abdomen to check for the presence of fetuses and may use an ultrasound. The vet should be able to give an estimated due date. Feeling the abdomen needs to be done by a professional because it is easy to mistake the bladder, kidney, or even an enlarged ovary for a foetus. Rough handling may cause miscarriage. The ultrasound, is a non-invasive procedure and can confirm the pregnancy. The ultrasound will also be able to confirm how many pups there are, and how many of them are alive. Either the sow was already pregnant when you purchased her or one of the other guinea pigs she has had contact with was a boar. Pet shops are notoriously bad for sexing guinea pigs and may have mis-sexed one of your guinea pigs. Get an experienced vet to check the sex of all your other guinea pigs. Pet stores also often house both sexes together, and some breeders do not separate the sexes early enough so it is possible the sow was already pregnant when you bought her. Sows should be over four months old, and under seven months old for their first pregnancy. If they have been pregnant before, they should be under two years old. If your pregnant guinea pig does not meet the age requirements, talk to your vet about a pregnancy plan. For young guinea pigs, this may include supplementing her diet with Critical Care of a similar product. For older guinea pigs, this may include her carrying out her pregnancy and birth housed at the vets, as she is more likely to need intervention. This is because sows who are too young are at a greater risk of vitamin deficiencies during pregnancy. Sows who are too old are at a greater risk of the pelvis not being 'elastic' enough to expand during the birthing process Sows who are overweight are at higher risk of toxemia. If your sow was overweight before she became pregnant, discuss with your vet what her diet should be during pregnancy as this is obviously a bad time to restrict her diet. Dalmatian and Roan guinea pigs carry a lethal gene recessively. If one parent is of these breeds, for each pup there is a 25% chance it will be born lethal. There are other hereditary diseases that can affect guinea pigs, so where possible check the parentage of the pregnant sow and the boar who fathered the pups. If there is a likelihood any of the pups are born with this condition you must decide what action you will take. If you are not prepared to care for them yourself, a more experienced guinea pig owner may be willing to take them or you may make the decision to have them put down. Lethal guinea pigs are white in colour (not albino) are born blind, usually in both eyes, have crooked or deformed teeth, are often also deaf and often suffer from internal deformities particularly to the digestive organs. These pups may die within a few days of birth, or may live for several years. If they do survive the first week they have a shorter than normal life expectancy and will require large amounts of medical care throughout their lives.

Determine if the sow's age makes it a high risk pregnancy. Determine if the sow's body condition makes it a high risk pregnancy. Determine if the sow's or boar's breed makes the pups more vulnerable to hereditary disease.

Article: You can make this design to size, if you know what size you'd like. Measure the longest pen. You can do this project in just one color, but if you have a second color, you can make a contrasting liner. We'll call the two colors the liner color (shown here in yellow) and the cover color (shown here in blue). If you want you can personalize it, try using different colors of tape, stickers, craft foam and pipe cleaners. This will be the cover color tape, and it should be about half an inch or 11.5 centimeter (0.40.6in) wider than the liner tape. You can trim the length later. Attach the liner tape strips together. Make sure that the sticky portion of the cover color tape has a half-inch or 11.5 centimeter (0.40.6in) allowance at both sides of the liner color tape. This will form the pocket. After folding it back in place, insert the longest pen inside the flap. You could bring the lower pocket all the way up or you could fold a strip of tape in three and put it near the top. Trim the finished product to the width of the liner color and set the strap loosely in place. Fold evenly! When working with duct tape, you can lift if for the first few days. After that, don't count on changing anything. Decide where you want the fold. You may want to leave a little extra length in case you ever get a pen or pencil that's a bit taller than the ones you have now. The easiest is to cut a straight line on a slight angle, but if you want to cut a bit of a curve, you can. In order for the sides of the curve to be equidistant, fold the top flap lengthwise in half and cut the curve through the edges while they are held together. If you curved the end of the top flap, you'll need to cut little slits in the duct tape on one side to receive it so it will stick flat. Here, there's another bit of tape to line the tab.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Gather the pens and pencils you'd like to carry in your case. Choose two colors of duct tape. Using the measurement you have taken of the pen, cut a piece of duct tape that is 2-3 times longer than the measured pen you want to hold. Cut two other strips and attach all three of them together to form a duct tape fabric that is a little wider than your selection of pens. Next, cut strips for your liner color tape, which should be the width you want your finished pencil case to be. Put the cover and liner tape strips together. Tape the edge of the bottom of the duct tape fabric and make sure that the two colors are even. Fold the bottom end up, and crease it without sticking the edges yet. Trim the sides of the folded portion. Using the pen as the point of reference, make an upper strap or loop. Fold the sticky side flaps in and stick them down over both the bottom pocket and the upper loop. Put your pens in the pocket and check the size. Fold the top flap down. Trim the end of the top flap so that it will stick into the bottom pocket. Fold short pieces of tape over the sides and end of the flap and any exposed edges. Reinforce the bottom of the pocket with another piece of tape if you want. Put your pens and pencils in the case, fold the flap over, tuck it in, and enjoy!
