Guinea Pig Supplies

Baby Guinea Pigs become sexually mature in a matter of weeks and-are known as pups.So you'll want to know which to take out when you have babies. Or maybe you're buying an older Guinea Pig and want to make sure you have the right sex to put with your own Guinea Pig.
 When they are pups, the boars(males) are likely to have a doughnut-shaped ridge of skin around the rectum. This is where the testicles are. As they grow, you are likely to have much less difficulty getting the penis to show itself.
Both of them have Y-shapes to their genitals. But the male’s genitals are likely to look more like an i the opening looks like the vertical shaft of an i and it’s dotted by a little bump with the tiniest speck in the middle of it.
 The female’s genitals are more likely to resemble the traditional Y-shape The boars are a bit larger than the females, and the females have bigger nipples. Those are some ways of seeing the difference between them. You’ve got to examine the underside of the Guinea Pig, between its two back legs, to locate the genital area.
Try pressing gently on the belly just above the genital opening. If it’s a male, you should feel the shaft lying beneath the skin. It’s also likely that when you press downward-again, do this very gently-the penis will pop out a little bit. If the Guinea Pig is heavy or if it’s older, then you might have difficulty getting the penis to pop out, so give it a few goes.
Females generally have smooth genitals with a slightly swollen feel to them. You will, however, notice a bumpy feeling to this area. Try to gently pull the skin to one side; if it’s a female, you should be able to separate the skin folds enough to show a Y-shaped opening.
Most experts agree that if you really want to become successful at sexing Guinea Pigs you need to compare a boar and a sow together at the same time. I think that maybe it would be great to be able to sex your Guinea Pig as sometimes the Pet store, or where ever you buy your Guinea Pig may not be able to do this.
