baby guinea pig age question
I'm still not 100% sure. I was told the baby was a male AND 6 weeks old. Raichu still looks like a male to me, maybe. I've sexed many babies before but this one is very confusing. I've never had this many issues before.
I turned to GPC because this forum is too hostile when people ask questions. If no one here can/will answer my questions then I need to go elsewhere and that is the only other GP place that has good info.

If it's a male you would be able to "pop" the penis out. Even as early as a day old. That is most definitely a sow. And why would we get hostile if asked to help sex a pig? The thing that makes people hostile around here is when a question is asked and the advice is not taken.

Ugh, YES, GPC does not have good info! At least when it comes to medical stuff. I dunno if it is not moderated anymore or what.
And onetwo, there are enough experienced members here who think it is a sow. I have no doubt. I would like to make some money off of that bet, actually. I seriously, seriously am hoping she is not pregnant.

The little flap thing with the hole at the end did pop out when i tried sexing which is why I thought it was a male. I have NEVER been able to get a boys penis to pop out no matter what age they were and I have TRIED and tried and tried.
Well if Raichu is a female then at least there is a demand for guinea pigs around here and it won't displace a guinea pig in need. My friend just lost her last guinea pig so if there are females she might take them in and if there is a male or two I might just keep it/them. i'm hoping for a small litter since she is so small.
Thanks for the help...

Hm...well, the fairly obvious pregnancy might be a good indicator that she's a girl.
