Question
1st Hi my name is Taylor i am 15 and i want to know if you can give me info on how to tell a boy from a girl guinea pig because i dont really know what sex mine is?

2nd  I have just gotten a guinea pig and his/her cage is out side. So i have added a box to give him/her soming to play in but he/she wont come out of it. When i move the box he/she go's back into it. So i was wondering can you help me to wean my guinea pig from the box?

3rd I also have 4 bunnies and they have a big big big cage that is out side too. I have them all together in the same cage and the cage is bigger than a mini van. some day i would like to add the guinea pig with the bunnies in there big cage. So i was wondering is it ok to add him/her and if so when should i do it?  

Answer
I can't help you with sexing a pig, I have No idea. Talk to a vet or another Guinea pig owner. Lure her out with food and show her its fun to come out. Or just take the box out and give her like a hut type house she can come out of when she feels ready. If the bunnies like her you can add ehr and It doesn't matter when.
