ANSWER: Sophie,

Here is how you find out if the Guinea Pig is a male or female.

Boars (male guinea pigs) are generally larger than females, have smaller nipples, and when sexually mature, clearly visible scrotal pouches. Gently pressing on the belly near the genitals will allow the penis to emerge.

Sows (female guinea pigs) have a Y shaped opening which is usually sealed with a vaginal closure membrane, according to Harkness and Wagner.

QUESTION: sorry to bother you again but i also should mention that my two cavys get along famously and the boy always follows the other cavy , they never fight and there always cuddeling up together does this mean that they are a girl and a boy is it more likely ?? thankyou  

Answer
Sophie,

The cuddling up together could mean a more likely result of boy and girl. As male Guinea Pigs don't normally get along that well with other males, unless they are brothers or have grown up together since an early age of 4 weeks. So I say your chances of having a boy and a girl are pretty good.

Good luck to you.
Take Care,
