Question
Ok i just found out my guineapig is a male. And i piked him up yesterday and he has nipples i thought onley the girls had them. and i know for sure its a boy cuz it has the dot on its privit.

Answer
In guinea pigs both males and females have nipples, however in rabbits, hamsters and gerbils only females have nipples. So if he has a round dot in that area and if pushed above it, it extends then you have a male. Let me know if you have any more questions.
