Telling whether they are boys or girls

[lindsay7]

I have recently just got two girl sisters. I have read alot on this forum about the problem sexing guinea pigs. I have checked mine to make sure that they both have the same bits. I checked and they have two little teats each so I'm sure they are girls, as I'm new to guinea pigs I'm not sure how to sex them. The fact they have teats isnt that a sure and easy way of knowing they are girls. Now I'm worried thinking that other experienced people havent mentioned this. Hope this does not mean that they are pregnant with them having teats. Please let me know. sorry if the above sounds waffly but I'm sure you will know what i mean. thanks

Boys have teats too! Check on a website called guinealynx. They have some good photos and you can double check from there or if you can get clear pics, post them and someone on here can tell you!

The teats confused me too, then Sunshine put on weight and I was freaking out he was a girl, but took all mine to the vets to make sure! Thankfully my boars are exactly that!
