A month and a half ago for my 18th birthday I bought my first 2 guinea pigs from a local petstore, both female however i was assured by the owner and breeder that neither where pregnant, fast forward to today one gave birth to 3 babies and the other is heavily pregnant, I am beyond overwhelmed I got another 4x2 pen but the thought that my 2nd guinea pig is also pregnant is stressing me so much, I love these pigs and i am so scared because this is my first time ever owning guinea pigs and any small animal in general, i am also having trouble finding homes for the babies because my friends who said they where going to adopt them had to back out I do not have the time, money, or space for 5+ guinea pigs

These are my first guinea pigs, both girls, however the man that i bought them from housed them with males but assured me they where too young to be pregnant (the third picture is how small they where when i got them), I didnt question him but it was irresponsible on my part because ive noticed signs about my fluffy guinea pig Hiro rapidly gaining weight in her belly in the span of the month and a half i have had her. I am really hoping she is just fat but i have also been feeling movement too, I am very unsure what to do because their cage is only 8 square feet so i guess i will have to order more cnc panels

I just enrolled in santa fe a few weeks ago, i got my aid estimate and it said I would get the max amount of pell grant money and I checked again today and its literally at zero, i am hoping this is only because they haven’t gotten my final transcripts sent to them yet but its causing me a lot of worry
