Ok, I feel really wierd putting my guinea pigs genitals on the internet! I just want to be sure. Both babies loook the same and I think they are girls. I hope so because I would like to keep them with their mother. Also, as you can see they are in need of a bath. They are not quite 3 weeks old, is it too soon?

Thanks for the help. This one is Romeo (who will be Daisy if he is definitely a she). We are very proud of them!

YEAH! So it is Daisy instead of Romeo! :smitten: You just made my day! Fluffy and I are happy now, she can keep her babies. Now I need a little boy for Brownie to have for company. My husband :police: would never let me tho! Thanks again! We will go celebrate with a carrot now!

Lisa :) :)
 
You could always get him neutered and they could all live together ;D

Do you need the other one sexed, or are you sure of that one?

Glad you're happy ;D ;D
 
Aw girly :) id get the daddy neutered rather than have him live alone then have a little family :smitten:
 
This is Dandelion's stuff!

It was hard to get this one to hold still....then it was potty time so we had to give her a moment of privacy..

id say she looks more like a girl, but would be better if you could get a clearer picture..
 
Looks like another fleshy dot canundrum I had one that was a bit similar from what I can make out from your pic How old is dan but she went to vedra in cambridge to get a confirmation of gender. Hermaphrodite guineas thread in general chat has pics, but best to be on the safe side and get little one checked if you are not sure O0
How old is danilion? ours looked a bit more defined nearer 4 weeks old.
 
they both look like girls to me :-\ i would get dandelion checked by a vet though, to be on the safe side O0
 
I think the second one is a girl, would take them to a vet just to be sure tho :)
 
The second pic needs to be clearer...I'm actually leaning towards boy at the moment, but will be able to tell if you holw the piggy directly in front of the camera :)
 
Yes, they are about 3 weeks....When I hold them side to side they look pretty much the same So I guess Dandy is a girl too. I will try to get a better pic. They sure hate to be poked in the area! Thank you alll for the help! So my new question is....should I separate the babes from Fluffy so they willl wean or will she be able to get them to leave her alone? I am afraid they will keep bugging her and she may have to get mean to stop them. Will they want to stop nursing on their own? They seem so big and she is small....I do not want her to loose too much of the nutrition she neeeds. I have been giving extra veggies and she gets alll of the hay she wants and pellets. I do want to keep them all together.
 
They should be fine to all be kept together forvever, if you think the mum is very stressed, then maybe seperate them for a while, but I dont think its needed :) O0
 
on your second piggie just above the privates can you feel (do not press hard) a line going up? To be honest it looks like a boy to me (If you look closely at the top of the Y you can see a dot)
I would not keep them together.
0:) remember prevention is better than cure 0:)
 
I still think boar- if i was you I would take that mini out until you are sure, it wont cause any harm to keep her alone until you can tell for sure :)
 
Some sows do have what look like dots though 2 of mine do, it still looks like a girl to me but i only have one boar and he's fully grown and very obvious ;D as PP says theres no harm in separating until you know for sure! I'm sure you dont want more babies! A pic that is pointing straight at the camera would help :)
 
yeah true - some sows do have dots :-\ which is harder to sex for people who cant sex them and people with experience tell them about dots etc ::)

I'm lucky as i can sex babies straight away :) and like PP said there is no harm in separating them now until you know for sure what sex they are O0
 
I'm going to inspect my girls ;D see if any of them resemble her/his! I do know they all look different to eachother!x
 
Sephy and Bumble both have bumpy bits, but they are definately girls O0 Maggie and Bee just look normal. as i say i do think they can have what look like 'dots' but they just dont develop into anything! My pigs look violated now ;D
