Too Soon?

Is it too soon to sex my new babies? When I look it looks like they all might be boys... but its still knda confusing... I really would like to know so that my sow can have a buddy...

The girls have a y shape and the boys are like a doughnut shape. Here you go. It will show what it looks like. I found out that day that they were born and had names picked out too. https://www.guinealynx.info/healthycavy.html#sexing

Thanks, I read that link as well as the Cavy spirit link and I think that there are two boys and a girl... the girl being the one that looks just like her mom (I was hoping that that brown and white one with one brown paw was a girl... he's my favorite!) but i will check again to confirm a little better at two weeks

good hopefully you can have that one as a girl. Are you keeping them all.

i would love too... but i dont have the room for all of them... especially if two of them are boys... maybe ill check with the vet to get a price on neutering...im getting too attached to let them go to someone else...

I found it hard to sex my babies. I thought I had a boy and a girl, but the vet checked them-and I had 2 girls. Maybe if you can somehow have a cage, ontop of the other cage...can you keep the boys then?

I don't know if I could manage that... My boyfriend was thinking he might take the two boys so that they could still be mine and i would still see them all the time... I think that is the only solution until this summer... I'm getting a bigger place then...

If your not absolutely sure about what sex they are you can always wait till they are about 2 weeks old and try sexing them again.
