Weird Lumps around buttox

[kaitlynspiggies]

My babygirl, Dolly seems to have weird lumps around her buttox area. Is this normal?

I think you may have a boar there. That looks like testicles...have a look at the sexing thread. How old is she?

WHAT!? I’ve had dolly for almost a year now! She’s definitely has to be a female are you sure?

 

[Siikibam]

I don’t know but that’s what it looks like. I could be wrong though. You’re sure she didn’t look like that beforehand.

Gently part her and see if there is a fleshy seal just inside the slit.

Is this the one with the post spliff munchies?

It is....

Can you post some other pictures of Dolly's genitals and buttocks so we can see more clearly

No I’ve never really checked her downstairs area before though. Only when I first got her, She doesn't have a penis?

Aaahh!

Sure thing, I couldn’t get my camera to focus.

You need to double check yourself as this photo isn’t clear. Has (s)he lived alone all this time?

Feel very gently above the slit and see if you can feel a penis ridge.

The first photo definitely looks like guinea pig balls to me
I couldn’t make out the angle at first, but it looks like it was taken from behind the Guinea pig, displaying two balls and then the covering (for lack of the actual term) for the penis. A Guinea pigs penis is not on the outside of their body but tucked inside.

Omg I am molesting my baby Dolly! Are you sure she’ll be okay with me touching to see?

Looks like balls to me as well, just from looking at my two

Can we see a photo of Dolly’s face?

For sure. I’d say without a doubt that that was a boy. The balls are pretty hard to miss. I always thought my first ever guinea pig was a boy until I actually owned boys, lol. The balls are pretty unmistakable.

Can piggies have more feminine or masculine frame faces?

And what does Grace look like?

 

[Little Ones]

Oh no ! What do I do

If your pig lives with another, then they’ll also need to be sexed.

 

[kaitlynspiggies]

And what does Grace look like?

I don’t need help sexing Grace. Only Dolly has bumps.

 

[Siikibam]

Can we see photos of your piggies here please? How long have they been living together?

 

[Little Ones]

I don’t need help sexing Grace. Only Dolly has bumps.

Male and females can’t live together as there will be a pregnancy, unless one is neutered or spayed.

We’d like to see more photos of your guinea pigs, please

Hi!

Please have a look our illustrated sexing guide with lots of reference pictures and then have a good old look at your piggies. Mis-sexing is much more common than you'd think.
Illustrated Sexing Guide

I would also recommend to have a check of the genitalia during the strongly recommended once weekly body check and weigh-in so you can catch any developing problems early on. It is also a vital care tool during illness.
If you wish, you can take pictures of the various body parts and use them as reference to check if there has been a chance if you are not sure.
