Need Help Determining Sexes for 3 Baby Pigs
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=2]Would anyone here be able to help me identify the sexes of these baby guinea pigs? They were born May 26th, so it may be too soon still, but even your guesses would be appreciated. (Photo links below)

Re: Need Help Determining Sexes for 3 Baby Pigs
What cute pigs! My GUESSES are the first two photos are girls, and the third is a boy. I am NOT SURE, however - I am basing it on the fact that the first 2 do not look like my boys (your babies have kind of a "Y" shape there), and the third one does, a bit!
There are some pics on a Guinealynx thread that may help - will see if I can find it for you!

I agree with Sirene, First two look like girls, Third looks like a boy.
And also, If you slightly put pressure on the rectum a penis should extrude, If it's a boy, If nothing comes out its a girl. That's what my vet told me.

First two look like girls and the third one could go either way. The picture is pretty small on my screen so it's hard to see but it looks like it might have the "pucker" that my male has where his penis is, but it doesn't quite look like my male. Maybe because it's a baby. Do you feel a ridge above its genital area or can you get a penis to pop out?
However, it's hard to tell from photos and if you're not sure, I would bring them to a vet to have them properly sexed. Do not rely on an internet message board to sex your pigs.
