Rehomed Guinea Pig

[mercede5]

Hi,

This week I took in two Guinea Pigs that need a new home urgently. We were told they were two boy brothers and were approx 18 months old. They are i nthe same cage and seem to be getting on fine with the odd tiff here and there. I cleaned them out this morning and it looks like one of them may be a girl!
I'm not sure what to do about this as they have always lived together so I dont want to seperate them, they havent reproduced in all the time they've been together and I think as far as there previous owner was concerened they were two boys and they were not aware they have a girl so I doubt they have been neutured. Is it possible that one of them is naturally infertile?

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Thanks

I'm no expert as I have never had boys. But do they have *cough* um...dangleberries?

If they are full males they should have a full set of man bits shall we say
They are usually quite noticeable.
@lisaali have entire boys (cute ones at that )&will probably be able to help further?

Can u post a pic of their bits &it should be easier to tell for sure,

if they got the boy from a rescue originally he may have been neutered before He got to the previous owners. Some rescues have a strict neutering policy before rehoming guineas.

Hiya,

As @GPTV has said, can you please post a couple of pictures of your piggies bits. If they have been together for 18 months, there probably would have been a litter by now if they were mixed gender..
