I don’t know what to do

So who has sexed these pups? Have you done it yourself or has someone qualified done it for you?
 
I’ve done it myself. The boars have a little dot above their anus area like a penis that is flat. The females do not have it and they are completely flat.
 
And when did you last check their sexes? Its best to sex again now they are two weeks as if done earlier than that it can sometimes be unclear.
you must also check inside the slit to be sure the sows have the fleshy seal
 
I’ve asked multiple people and they have said they look like females. Not many vets in australia are specialised in guinea pigs but when they are they are extremely pricey
 
Guinea pigs aren't cheap pets to keep and vets costs vary and add up. Its a good idea to have a vet fund saved up so you can get them care as soon as it is required.
 
I have saved around 1000 Australian dollars just in case for my piggies (Does not include monthly check ups). Once Minnie was having diarrhea with blood in it but it was late at night and she was squeaking loud. The vet wasn’t open but her stool looked normal the next morning.
 
As you've got a vet fund saved up then I would take them all to be sexed properly in the next few days, and have the one losing hair checked just in case it is something.
Obviously it doesn't help now, but diarrhoea with blood in is an emergency and even if it looked normal the next morning, she would still have required an urgent and immediate vet check.
 
My head is hurting... So..

Charlie, Boar 🌈
Mickey, Boar - pups dad
Minnie (was Charles) - pups mum - will be rehomed (?)
Pup 1, Sow - will be rehomed
Pup 2, Sow - will be rehomed
Pup 3, Boar - to be bonded with Mickey

Is that right? Is mum being rehomed with the baby sows?

Perhaps you can post a photo of their 'bits' on here, for confirmation/advice? It is really important to get it right.

Also, I have just bonded a 5week old pup with my older (4.5yr) boar. Please do read the guides on here, and make sure you do it in an open and neutral area. I am sure Mickey will be fine, but he may display dominance behaviours that upset/unnerve the little one, so don't introduce them on your bedroom floor, where Mickey knows all the hideouts and escape routes but the baby doesn't.

And remember, one of the biggest rules of this forum - plenty of photos! No one is here to judge you if you are trying your best for your piggies, however, intentionally breeding animals is not supported, even less so when you have very limited knowledge of the species.

Keep us updated
 
@Gibson mum sadly passed away after being bitten by a dog.

@Erwin & Baymax please check the sex today before you do the bonding tomorrow. Read through the guide that was linked to above. The fleshy seal can be seen if you gently part the slit. It's quite distinct. I wouldn't just take it that the button is a penis. Check for the fleshy seal inside the slit and check for the penis ridge above the slit (on the lower belly). Don't assume.

If you have this vet fund available why did you tell us you didn't have the funds to take your piggy to the vet when the dog bit it?

Sorry but all the contradictory stuff you are posting just makes it sound like you are making up stories for the fun of it
