which actually turned out to be girls (I think) so now a bit nervous about pregnancy but if that occurs we will take it as it comes!

Can someone please help me with the sexing? (I think they look like girls)

At least I think they ought to be the same sex, I think so anyway.
 
Not both? I think they look the same down there? Or did i take bad photos?:(
 
Girl one is a boy by the looks of it, but put a bit of pressure above the genital area and see if you can get a penis to come out from hiding. The other i think a lady.

Shall i try to take more photos, they look the same "downthere" to me
 
Idealy we need very well lit clear photos (as close as possible without blurring)

I also thought 'girl 1' was also a 'boy' - it just looks more 'pronounced' and quite boy like - then again I'm no expert on sexing - clearer pictures might help to be absolutely sure......
 
If i press gently they both look the same the tiny little thing shows up (more visible on the one with brown color "downthere").

Sorry for this crude message but if you press apart the genitals, does a hole also occur on a boy? Because when I do this both of them have a hole or what to call it.

Yes they should. Its their anus and both boys and girls will have this. The only difference is the pressure you but above the area to cause a penis to come out.

The penis doesnt come out but one have a bigger or wider "thing" (the top) than the other but part from that I think they look the same. What do you think? Really worried now I might have one boy and girl, looked so much the same when I was there:(
 
If you gently press down towards the genital area a naughty bit will pop out if they are boys, if nothing pops out they'll be girls. The second pigture looks like a boar, but i cant be too sure.
 
Some females have a larger 'nobbly bit' hense i was suspicous of the first picture. Did you get these piggies from a breeder? If so then it is unacceptable that a breeder has not sexed them correctly or given you girls thinking they were boys.
If you cannot get a penis then it is very likely they are both females. Where abouts are you? Someone close by may be able to help you sex. If not then maybe pop them to a good vets close by to have an experienced vet or nurse to sex them for you.

I think the colouring of the skin/fur is making it difficult to be certain, it is for me anyway.

Best thing to do, is pop them to your vets tomorrow, a full health check might not be such a bad idea as you've just acquired them. They will also confirm sexes.
 
Separate - I do believe that you have a mix sexed pair! My main concern is that there is a high probability that these two guinea pigs are related, if not littermates! However, age, and the presence of white colouration is also concerning! It is better to be safe, than sorry!
 
A few more photos but last as now I will leave them be so they settle in, already I feel I have done too much but important to be sure what gender they are.

Just bumping this up. Personally they look the same to me, but I'm not experienced enough to tell for sure.
 
Girls, both girls in my opinion - can you weigh them in grams so an approximate age can be given.

If the previous owner believed them to be male they may have left them with other males and so they are at risk of pregnancy.

Look like girls to me also, as no boy bits seem to be showing up and your thumbs in the right place.
