Rodents

Guinea pig owners often need to determine the sex of their pet, especially when it comes to newborn animals. This is necessary to choose a suitable name, purchase a specific sex, or avoid breeding when introducing one animal to another. It's also important to promptly separate males from their mother. Even if you buy a pig from a breeder, a pet store, or from an ad, don't blindly trust the seller's assurances that it's a male or female—it's best to double-check. This can be done not only by a veterinarian but also by anyone—it's enough to understand the anatomy and behavior of guinea pigs. Distinctive sexual characteristics of adult guinea pigs Read more

Fluffy, active hamsters are undemanding eaters and don't require much attention. They don't require grooming, bathing, walking, or sterilization. It would seem simple. But if you've decided to get a hamster, bought it a house, and allocated a space in your room, decide on the breed—Djungarian or Syrian—and the gender. Believe me, if you're getting a rodent for a long-term friendship, this is important. Active, interesting, and neat, male and female hamsters have different physiological characteristics, and therefore, the care of each requires different care. Why is it important to determine the sex of a hamster? Whether it's a male or a female determines whether there will be offspring in the near future, and the behavior of the sexes also varies significantly. Sexual differences are especially important for those planning to get several furry animals—this is especially true for Djungarian hamsters, which are often kept in groups. Syrians, on the other hand, are more often solitary creatures. However, for reproduction, it's essential to know the sex of the pet.Read more
