There's a few ways..one is: to ask "it". And the second one is: if "it" lifts "its" leg it's a boy. If "it" squats, a girl.
Hope this helps.

Boars (male guinea pigs) are generally larger than females, have smaller nipples, and when sexually mature, clearly visible scrotal pouches. Gently pressing on the belly near the genitals will allow the penis to emerge.
Sows (female guinea pigs) have a Y shaped opening which is usually sealed with a vaginal closure membrane, according to Harkness and Wagner.

You sex a guinea pig the same way you sex a rabbit...hold the guinea in your left hand and turn it to its back (body being supported by your hand and your arm. Put your thumb right above the genitalia...gently push in and slightly up...if it is a male, the penis will be exposed...better to get a pet store to show you how to sex your pig.

It depends on the age of the guinea pig. Certainly by 6-8 weeks it would be easier. It's much easier when s/he is even older. Your vet can tell you, or if you have a very co-operative g.p., then turn them on their back and have a look.
But try to do it just after s/he has peed <--- life experience talking here -- or you'll get wet.

Sows:
The sows (females) usually have a smooth swelling over their genital area. Sometimes, it can be bumpy looking, making you think it might be a male! If you gently part the genital opening, on a sow, a "Y" shaped opening should appear.
Boars:
Press gently just above the genital area. If it's a male, you should be able to make the penis slowly extrude. Don't be fooled by appearances. Sometimes, it doesn't look like there is a penis there at all! Especially in heavy, older males, the penis can be "tucked away" in folds of skin, looking entirely like a female! You should TRY to get the penis to ease out.
