Hi everyone, I would like some help in sexing my little darling? :eek:ptimist: I've asked at someone with Piggies on Facebook but I'm still not convinced. Some said male, some female. Would like to know so I can either separate little Ozzie with the mum and placed him/her with the dad or just keep it the way it is. Ozzie will turn 3 weeks in 2 days :eye-poppi I'm not sure if the image is clear enough or not :expressio

Declaring the sex of a pig by photo's is quite hard, gently apply pressure just above the genital area with the thumb and if a male, the penis should extrude.
Here is a great article on sexing pigs: Sexing Guinea Pigs: How to Sex a Guinea Pig

(He/she is a very gorgeous pig by the way :) ).

Yeah, I know but I've tried. The penis won't come out. Can you teach me how exactly to check? Because last week Ozzie tried to mount on Heodang, the mother and doing the rumbling sound, I think D: Do female babies try mount on their mothers too?

I have two 1 year old males and it can be quite difficult to get their penis' to pop out, ugh. We originally needed to verify their sex and now check them occasionally for cleaning needs. If you can feel a little ridge, just keep trying. I put gentle pressure on each side, if needed, as well (a two handed job taking two people, me and a piggy holder).

That is an adorable little snuggles you have there, male or female. <3
