FEMALE
The sows 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.

Great pictures.  I have rabbits and guinea pigs and it seems like it is a lot easier to sex the guinea pigs than the rabbits.  I have a pregnant female pig, who when she has her babies, I can sex them easily with the pictures.

Thanks so much for the info!  I am "babysitting" a GP this weekend, and had no clue about their behavior or nutrition!
