We were told a girl but looks like a boy! She's in with another girl:eek:
 
That is definitely a boy to my eyes! You can clearly see some ah nice round boy parts hanging there! Please please separate him from your girl. Were they sexed by the same person? Maybe post a pic of your girl here as well it's possible you have two boys
 
I am pretty sure that's a male. The best thing to do is seperate them asap and have them properly sexed and checked over by a vet. Unfortunately, if you have one male and one female, the chances of her being pregnant is very high. You may find the sticky threads in our pregnancy section very helpful which have been written by one of our very experienced members as your girl will need to go on to pregnancy watch.

Do you know how old they are? Did they come from a pet shop?

That is a boy.you can clearly see the swelling of descending testicles on the sides.
Boars can start making babies from 3-5 weeks of age; sows have their first season between 4-6 weeks. :(

Please separate asap and open a thread for ongoing support in our pregnancy section; you are welcome to ask any questions during that time on there. You can find lots of guides that cover the whole period at the top of the section. It would be good if you read them first.

It would also be helpful if you please added your country, state/province or UK county to your details, so we can tailor any advice and recommendation for what is realistically available and doable where you are. Click on your username on the top bar, then go to personal details and scroll down to location. thank you!
 
If they've been together since April then unfortunately the chances of her being pregnant are very high. But if the person who sexed that piggy also sexed your other piggy and said they are both girls, then maybe they just got what boys look like and what girls look like mixed up (trying to be optimistic as pregnancies are very hard on female piggies, especially very young ones)
 
Ok thank you for the advice. We are in Minnesota, USA. Hoping for 2 boys now
 
Fingers crossed you have two boys! As mentioned above, try and get a decent photo of the other ones genitles and upload it. I'm sure someone will be able to tell you the sex of the other piggy
 
I'm not an expert and the dark colouring makes him harder for me but I would say that you have two boys! A way to tell for sure it to apply some pressure just above that pink little knob. This will cause the penis to emerge and obviously if that happens then you know you've got a boy! Also don't worry, my boys let me check out their parts with no fuss as with boars every month or so you need to make sure they haven't gotten anything caught down there!
 
Photo 1 boar. Photo 2 looks like a boar boar (but see if you can extrude penis by pressing a little above the pink part).
 
I almost did not see this as it appears to be in an unusual section of the forum for the topic. But agree with the others they both look like boars.
 
Yeah the second one looks like a boy too... suppose that's a relief that you've not got a pregnant piggy :P
 
Those both look like males to me... the top one for sure, and very likely the bottom as well.

Yes, big relief it's two boys! That was a bit stressful, whew!They must've been so young it was hard to tell. Thanks for the help!
Click to expand...
It's possible to sex pigs within a couple weeks after birth... they can mate at 3 weeks, so it's actually really important to be able to sex babies a few weeks after birth! So I would chalk this up to the pet store not knowing what they're doing, not that it's too soon!
