Couldn't resist, so the boys are here...

[nejlika]

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)


"girl 1"

"girl 2"

At least I think they ought to be the same sex, I think so anyway.

 

[Claire W]

I would say girl one is a girl as you can see the 'y' shape

 

[nejlika]

Not both? I think they look the same down there? Or did i take bad photos?

It's because the second girl is a bit blured. If she has the 'y' shape as well, she'll be a girl a boy will have a 'v' shape and the penis will come out.if you generally push the area

 

[Abi_nurse]

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.

Ooh, I'm confused now. I thought girls had a y and boys a v?

 

[Guinea-pigGaga]

Please do! However, I am quite sure the second guinea pig is a boar!

If you can

Idealy we need very well lit clear photos (as close as possible without blurring)

 

[nejlika]

with closer look i think both look like girls

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......

 

[nejlika]

If i press gently they both look the same the tiny little thing shows up (more visible on the one with brown color "downthere").

Have a look on my thread from a while ago. It wasnt made a sticky but keep pointing it out as i added lots of sexing pictures. Its good for you to compare if you wish.

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.

[nejlika]

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

 

[AudioHeart]

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.

 

[Abi_nurse]

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.

[Claire W]

If you are really unsure, a vet will happily sex them for you You need to act fast because if you have one of each, they need separating ASAP

 

[Abi_nurse]

Just saw your other post that you didnt get them from a breeder. Sorry for ranting.

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.

 

[Guinea-pigGaga]

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!

 

[nejlika]

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.

I think they look the same no?

 

[Connie]

Just bumping this up. Personally they look the same to me, but I'm not experienced enough to tell for sure.

 

[Abi_nurse]

Now you have done that i would say they look like girls. But i would echo Amanda and suggest popping them to the vets to make sure so.

[Suzygpr]

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.
