How do I tell if a guinea pig is female or male?
Holding the Guinea PigHold the guinea pig in both hands with its belly turned toward you. Grip it gently around the back with one hand and support its abdomen with the other hand.Sexing the Guinea PigLook at the guinea pig’s genital area. A female guinea pig will have a mound over the genital area that parts to show a ‘Y’ shape. If you gently push just above the genital area, you should be able to see a male guinea pig’s penis.Identifying MalesLook for the male’s testicles if you’re having trouble identifying the sex. In younger males, these are two small swellings on either side of the rectum.
