My guinea pig Butterscotch is 2 years old. We got her on Christmas 09' and we put her in the same cage as our other guinea pig, Pig Pig which he is 5 years old. There had been a center divider in their cage for about a year and then some how one morning we woke up and they were both in the same side so we slowly started to introduce them living in the same cage. We would put them together during the day ONLY when we would be right there watching them, and seperate them when we werent.Then we just left them together. Eventually Butterscotch got "pear" shaped and started getting really picky about us touching her belly. Then she started wobbling around getting wider and more and more picky about us touching her. Pig Pig has been making what i call purring noises at her and then walks around her and sticks his nose up her butt like he knows there are babies in there.He only started doing this like 1.5 months ago. Last night when i was putting some more food in their cage and seperating them because they were chasing each other around she wouldnt let me touch her at all and then when i did she screamed like she was dying from just one finger disturbing like 5 hairs. She is SUPER heavy and very awkard to pick up. I have tried feeling babies in her belly a week ago and didnt find anything. I dont know what to look for, skeletons, oh yea but thats not as easy as it sounds.Now she needs a bath and her nails clipped today so I will have to try and feel her belly and feel some skulls or anything today when they have to both get baths and their nails clipped. Anyone have any better ways, like something that doesnt make her upset and stressed???

Any insight helps...

Thanks
