sexing baby piggies?

[**toffee**]

How old are they before you can determine the sex please?
Toffee and her babies will be going back to their owners next week and i would love to keep one myself so will need to sex them pretty soon

This website can help; it has got lots of pics: http://www.cavyspirit.com/sexing.htm

If not, you are welcome to post pictures of the privates in our pregnancy section. Please make sure that you face the crucial bits towards a source of light and use your close up (macro, flower symbol) for best results. The clearer the picture the better we can help.

Yeah, I'd wait a little while as it's quite hard to sex a baby one. It hasn't fully grown yet!

They can be sexed pretty much straight away if you know what you're doing but it gets easier as they get older, they have to be sexed by three weeks though as that's when you need to separate the boars and sows. Is the one you're keeping going to have a friend to live with?
