Your First Piggy: Picking the Sex

        The sex of your first guinea pig is important for a few reasons. Most importantly is that sows cannot be bred for the first time after one year. Their pelvic bones start to fuse together, so the sow or the babies could get hurt and even die. If you get a sow as your first pig, and then breed them to a boar later on, then this is likely to happen. A boar is usually the best first pet for someone who will want to breed someday.
