I need help! I adopted two male Guinea pigs in November. It is looking like one maybe a female. I took pictures of S'more and am hoping someone can help me figure out the sex. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The only sure way to determine if it is female is when no penis can be extruded. Are you you able to extrude a penis?

She's a girl, and she looks pregnant to me, judging by her belly shape.

The other male I have I can definitely see a penis but not this one. I also have two other females. I was able to see the definite y on them. The two males, or should I say 1 male and 1 female have been together 4-5 months now. How long do you think before she gives birth?

Based on the picture of her it could be anytime within the next couple of weeks.

Separate them NOW. The female can get pregnant again within minutes of giving birth. And if she delivers while you're not there, which could happen at any time, she'll be pregnant again. And back-to-back pregnancies are VERY hard on the sow and the second litter of pups.

See www.cavyspirit.com/sexing.htm for help determining sex.

If I were you I would either put her in a cage by herself or introduce her to your other girls.
