Hi,
We have a lovely two year old male piggy called Winston. He was lonely so we
got him a friend whom we were assured was male.
That was 6 months ago. 4 weeks ago the new guinea pig, called Chico gave
birth to 4 little piggies. Two look just like their dad (Churchill and
Dinsdale) and two look just like their mum (Pippin and Merry). I'm having
real trouble sexing them, they all appear to have a 'Y' with a dot in the
middle. But I just caught Dinsdale trying to mount Pippin. So I think we
have all males or 1 male and 3 female. Dinsdale does appear to have an ever
so slightly more pronounced 'i' then the others. Anyway, while we would love
to keep them all, we simply can't. We are in the Sydney area, Does anyone:
A: want a baby guinea pig or a 6 month sow suitable for breeding?
B: know an easier way of sexing them or can recommend a vet who specialises
in Guinea Pigs?

I think ideally we would like to keep on of the males as a companion for
Winston. Has anyone tried pairing a mature boar with a younger one?
