Question
MY SIS AND I BOTH HAVE GUNIEA PIGS. WE PUT THEM IN A BIG DOG CAGE TOGETHER. ONE IS BIGGER AND MORE PLUMP.MY NANA
THINKS THAT THE BIGGER ONES ARE THE BOYS AND THE SMALLER ONES ARE THE GIRLS.
I THINK THAT THE FAT ONES ARE THE GIRLS. HOW DO YOU TELL?

Answer
Hi Alisa

Size of the pig isnt really a reliable way of telling which is a boy and which is a girl. Take a look at the link below to help you. Also, if you gently press the lower tummy, a little penis will pop out if it is a boy.
