Genders

[Tytheguineapig]

Hi there! I am just wondering if there is any way to tell for sure what gender a guinea pig is without going to the vet's.
We just wanted to be able to tell for sure what gender ours is before we get a companion. (we don't want babies)
Thanks,
Ty and her owner.

However, the second issue of getting a companion needs to be approached carefully. You can’t just put two piggies together and expect everything to be fine. Whether a bond is successful is entirely down to character compatibility. Do you have plans on how to find a suitable companion for your piggy? Having a rescue centre assist is absolutely the best way to go about it if at all possible. If you are planning on purchasing a pet shop piggy, then you will need to have a plan b in place in case of a failed bonding.
