When buying an animal, you always want to be sure that it will be of the sex you need. This is especially true for those people who are planning to get offspring. The sex of guinea pigs is quite difficult to determine at an early age; over time, gender becomes visible to the naked eye. When purchasing a guinea pig, do not hesitate to examine it from all sides, because you are buying an animal that must be healthy and of the correct sex.
Instructions
Step 1
Take the pig gently and place it in the palm of your hand. If the pig is large, then hold it with your other hand behind the back.
Step 2
Press lightly on the bottom of the tummy (you need to do so so that the animal does not get hurt) or slide the animal's skin towards the chest. If you accidentally hurt the animal, then further finding out the sex will be impossible, the guinea pig will become nervous.
Step 3
With light pressure on the lower abdomen, in males under the skin you can feel the flagellum, this is the penis. During pressure, it can come out, but this is not scary.
In adult males, everything is very clear, the scrotum is clearly visible, which is located near the base of the tail. It looks like a small round-shaped bag.
Step 4
In females, you will see a Y-shaped penis that expands in the lower abdomen and tapers towards the base of the tail.
Step 5
It is worth noting that the genitals of females are always smaller than those of males.
