1) Stop buying from pet stores where they will regularly tell you the animals are the wrong sex.
2) Consider getting the male neutered
3) Prepare to have babies if the female is pregnant

how do I tell if she is prgnet ,and how do I care for a pregnet pig. I bought the pig from pet smart.

I wish you luck with the piggies. Pet stores are worse than hopeless when it comes to sexing piggies. Read all you can start here https://guinealynx.info/breeding.html and find a good cavy vet in your area in case of emergencies.

That is what happnes when you buy pet store pigs. How exactly do you know one is a boy?

I had read the page about sexing the pigs and I had suspissions by the cooing and the way cinamin (the boy newpig ) was sniffing and chasing. last night iI cought him mounting Elli and at that time I seperated them and took acloser look. when I pressed ever so slightly on his belly he had a peeper. BUSTED!!!!!!!!!!!!
