Re: girls mating each other normale or not?

Lily was humping Buttercup the other day, I reckon she was in season. Before I say anything further, humping/mounting are normal dominance behaviours but Petstore staff are not reliable, petstore pigs are frequently mis-sexed. Are you sure they are the same sex?

Guinea Lynx :: Sexing Guinea Pigs

Check out this link to sex your guinea pigs yourself. You can also post pics here and see what others think. Take them to a cavy savy vet if you have to - but be positive they are both the same sex before you leave them together!!!

Once you are certain they are both girls, you can rest assured that yes, girls do hump each other for dominance and it's perfectly normal.

Re: girls mating each other normale or not?

It is certainly easier when they are a few months old than it is when they are only days or a couple weeks old.

Try feeling just above the genitals - see if you feel a ridge there. If so - that's the penis. Females have a definite opening if you gently spread them apart whereas males are more like a rolled up pair of socks (for lack of a better way to describe it).

Another tip - if you are a patient person - boys pee out the front and girls pee out the back.
