Advice On Sex Of The Piggies

[charlyroo]

Hi, I'm currently in the process of choosing a couple of guinea pigs, I'm not sure on what is the best sex to get. can anyone give advice on the pros and cons of both male and female piggies thank you.

Hi and !
Personally, I don't think that the sex of the piggies matters as male and female piggies make good pets. However boars ( male piggys ) need more space than sows ( female piggies ) as they can fight if not brought up properly together.
I hope this helps!

Hi and . I agree with Maisy and Poppy.

 

[charlyroo]

hi thank you, we got told males are friendlier than females, is this true or is there no significant difference

 

[Maisy and Poppy]

No, there is no significant difference as piggys have different personalities.
