I have two female guinea pigs. one is 1 year old and the other is 5-6 months. i’ve been noticing today that the oldest female has been mounting the younger and leaving white gelatinous discharge on the bedding and on the younger? should i be worried about this? is she actually a male?

Hi!
Please always double check the gender upon arrival; mis-sexing does happen. Here is our sexing guide link, which teaches you where exactly to look and feel for in some less obvious but much more gender devisive areas than the outside appearance - with lots of comparison pictures of both genders and at different ages and stages of development: Illustrated Sexing Guide
If you have indeed got a sow, I would have her vet checked; this doesn't sound normal.

Please don't use your home town in your account details for your own protection and without any more helpful pointer for us as to which part of the world you are actually living in, so we can take into account climate and general background; access to vets, rescues and differing medical brand names etc. into our consideration and give you more personalised support. Thank you.
please separate them immediately and put your sow onto pregnancy watch.
how long have they been together?
