babyguineapigs

At the end of December, my boyfriend Nick and I went to Des Moines to get a quinea pig since I didn't get one for Christmas. We went to PetCo in Des Moines and I bought a quinee pig that is white with a couple large brown spots on her. On the way back home I was thinking what her name could be, and after about thirty minutes of thinking, I came up with a name, Roxy. When we got home, I got her cage ready with some food, bedding, a chew toy, and some water. From the time I got her, I had noticed she had been getting bigger and bigger by the week. I thought to myself, there is no way PetCo sold me a pregnant quinea pig. One night I had brought Roxy downstairs for everyone to hold and when Nick's mom was holding Roxy, she had felt something kick on the side of Roxy's stomach. I put my hand on Roxy's stomach and felt the same thing. I called PetCo and I asked, "is there any way my quinea pig is pregnant?" They had told me that if she was pregnant, that it had happened when they received all the quinea pigs from the breeder. A few nights ago when I was changing into some shorts and a T-shirt, I had noticed a little brown head pop out from under the platform inside the cage. It freaked me out a little bit until I looked under the platform and noticed that there were three new baby quinea pigs in the cage. Two out of the three have messy hair like their mom and the other one has nice soft hair. The guinea pigs that have the messy hair like their mom is all brown and the other one is black and brown with a white stripe between the eyes. The one that has the nice, soft, smooth hair is white, brown, and black.
