4 babies; unsure of sex 😩

[Laurennnnnn]

Can I get some help on their sexes? They’ll be two weeks old on Wednesday and I’m starting to panic about my babies making more babies . I tried pushing down to see if weenies would come out but I couldn’t get that to work on any of them and couldn’t even feel shafts in any of them (might not have pushed hard enough?). Also let me know if I need clearer pics! They did not like taking these so they got very wiggly and hard to manage lol but I can try again if needed

@VickiA one you may be able to cast your eye over.

I’m pretty sure of two of them but not the other 2 Can you get someone to help you hold them so that you can get clearer close up pictures? I’d hate to get it wrong. Please keep to the same numbering. And if possible we need a good clear photo of the inside of the slits.

Hi and welcome

I would like to see pictures of the inside of the slits of #1 and #2 to be absolutely sure. I have a good idea but unlike with piggies I can handle I am not able to look for further confirmation from just a single in order to make absolutely sure. The natural variation is much greater than textbook pictures suggest.

#3 and #4 are definitely girls.

You can find reference pictures in this link here to see what we mean. Before I confirm the gender I would like to see at least 3 gender divisive markers instead of just going by guessing.

Will do! What do you mean by “3 gender divisive markers”? Does that mean I need to show three separate things in each pic? Thanks for being so helpful!

Ideally, yes, I can see three things in the outside and slit pictures that belong to just one and the same gender in order to confirm it beyond any doubt; especially when pictures are not the clearest.

This here is a an adult sow reference picture from our general Sexing Guide to illustrate what I mean with gender markers.

Although there is always the hands-on feel for the presence or absence of a tiny rice corn sized penis shaft under the skin by the owner, which I use as a back-up measure if pictures can only take us so far.



We just don't play any guessing games with sexing on this forum. It may take a bit longer but we don't take any risks on here; this is not something where less than 100% surety is good enough.

I feel like 1 and 2 are boys

I was wrong, don't mind my first post. 1 is male, 2 is female, 3 is female, and, I am not very sure about 4. Could you post a more clear photo? I think the best way is to go to a vet and get it checked.

If you are in cedar park, and looking for a vet, you could go to Agave Vet Care & Exotic Animal Hospital. They do very good with my guinea pigs.
