We were sold two female guinea pigs...

[FanellaFudge]

one keeps 'mounting' the other.

There's alot of purring going on...

do females do this?!

er, not in my experience!

Purring yes, mounting not as I remember ! Have you checked them underneath !!!

Yes they do. At least my sil's two female guinea pigs did this, and multiplied to make a baby, which she has now given to us. She is now keeping these two 'female' guinea pigs apart

Oh dear

Have called DH. He says the pet shop should expect a delivery.

How do you check underneath?

lol does this help ?!

"You should TRY to get the penis to ease out"

I think I'll wait for DH to get home...

Female rabbits mount each other as a sign of dominance. Not sure if guineas do the same.

ha....we were sold 2 boy hamsters and now have 14 babies

after the first litter of 5 pups we seperated mom and dad but she was already pregnant with the next, they can 'mate' the same/next day after giving birth!

Sows do sometimes mount other sows to establish dominance.

Have a good look at their bits though, just in case.

Dh has had a look...reckons that they are both female. Hope he's right!

aristocat - that is so true, my sil's guinea pig gave birth to still born babies and then the next day was trying to make some more!

One of our females mounts the other piggies, quite distressing to watch but according to somewhere on google not that unsual!!

Baby guineas are very sweet though

They are absolutely gorgeous, but even they become very randy very quickly.
