Did you decide to get a pet and stopped the choice on a guinea pig? This is incredibly quiet and amusing fluffy small animal who is not demanding a special care and close attention. However when choosing an animal surely there will be a question: how to distinguish a sex of guinea pigs?
Instruction
1. At first to define age of an animal is necessary truly. Most often difficulties at sex determination arise if the mumps is in young age. Pet-shops offer both young people, and adult individuals. Young the mumps is considered before achievement of one year. Having understood a small animal with age, you will be able to define his sex much quicker. A guinea pig - the animal very timid therefore to take her on hands to define a sex is necessary slowly and carefully, without doing sharp movements.
2. The distance between a sexual opening and anal at the self-check is much shorter, than at males. Such "comparative" method approaches if it is necessary to define a sex of several animals at once - having available only one small animal, you simply have nothing will compare.
3. More reliable method: take an animal on hands and accurately turn a paunch up. To hold an animal little body with fingers it is better direct under front pads - there to it will be more comfortable. It is necessary to hold with a palm of the second hand a lower body. Then it is necessary to press slightly on the lower part of a stomach. Under fingers if it is a male, you will feel a small penis and if it is a female - that a small oblong crack in the form of the Latin letter "Y". You should not press strongly.
4. With an adult animal of such executions it is not necessary to carry out. Usual survey of area of genitals will help. At adult males over extreme flesh the small penis will act, at a samochka (in case it is not in a condition of a techka) same Latin "Y" is observed.
