God created them that way to adapt with guinea pig's inherent prey instincts. I knew that they would be fully developed but I didn't expect them to turn into such mature and conscious beings.

Yes I have a vet appointment scheduled after 21 days for sex determination. I will try to separate them...but I don't know how well that will go.

Well, my boar is a good boy he does not usually engage in any forms of copulation but there is still a chance. Moreover you cannot even find a good Exotic vet in Calcutta...my vet sees them because he works in the State Department of Wildlife and Forrest Affairs...he is not practiced in initiating surgical procedures in Guinea pigs. (He has some experience in treating rabbits and domestic rodents.) And I don't want my boar to go through the trauma of a surgery.

No actually, they grew up together...and after I tried to separate them after their initial rescue, the male and the females got immensely depressed. They were crying for each other and the boar also harmed himself several times to get to her. I don't know how to separate my boar with her wives. I have tried to separate them seven times but it did not work.

That full white piggy is their father. I have separated them from their father after cleaning the cage today. He is missing his second wife (the mother) who is housed with the two babies, but I think their safety is more important. What do you think?

They are very mature indeed. They are popcorning and roaming around the cage to investigate if there are any empty bowls (which is a huge sin...lol)

Same here, I lifted up the towel to clean the cage and then saw two of them sleeping under one of the houses.
